Parking is tricky but a very pleasantly shaped little hill. Ideal for a beacon with 360 degree views and a dwelling close-by. | M3WDD | 04/08/2018 |
Farm track from road up W edge of field then over grass to summit mound with fire basket beacon. Goods views. | RichardM | 22/01/2017 |
Short post with fire basket supported by cables and concrete blocks on grassy mound in centre of grassy field. Clear views out to sea and inland over patchwork of fields. | Denise | 22/01/2017 |
2m mound in pasture at natural hp, topped with millennium beacon. From sw, gateway. | RHW | 26/11/2016 |
Second beacon of the day - parking is tricky, the walk to the beacon is not. The OS map shows no feature but now there is an earth platform and an iron beacon brazier | M3WDD | 06/08/2008 |
