From junction to SW, along BW to hill fort. Lot of clearance work inside hill fort, went embankment HP and middle of fort, Trig found close to Bwf.PeterD04/08/2019
Followed field margin from the lay by. Then through pasture and over gate into hill fort. Owners clearly don't welcome visitors but have been doing lots of tree clearance which is probably an improvement. Lots of butterflies out today - large skipper, common blue, meadow brown and painted lady.Herbert Anchovy15/06/2019
Up from lay-by. Walked the whole embankment failing to find the trig, until I was leaving then glimpsed it. Note to self: always take a map. Huge amount of vegetation has been cut and neatly removed in centre of ring. Landowner(?)and his family arrived by 4 x 4 to explore / run around their fort and immediately informed me politely that the row went around the far side ( not obvious) . I took their hint, thanked them and loop completed left. Surprised the area of access land to SW only comes up to the fort outer edgeChris Pearson27/01/2019

maddash from salisbury in an hours window 9.30-10.30. arrived at track to the SW only to find sudden squall of big hailstones and then rain. eased enough to get welly boots on. Slippin and a slidin along and up to pillar and then clockwise walk round two thirds of the earthworks ring Squall gone and blue sky again!!vegibagger27/03/2016
Summit hill fort surrounded by low wire fence and 'No public right of way' signs. The hill fort has flat central area surrounded by earth dyke all very overgrown with trees and scrub, a few pheasant feeders dotted around. Difficult to determine a natural high point but highest point is the top of the dyke on the NW side of the ring. Good access from Bridleway.RichardM25/07/2015
Again a walk round the outside as no entry signs up even getting to the Trig Point is no entry. Great views from the south sidephilhythe21/09/2014
