Obviously no longer in use, this trig pillar is now part of a hedgerow across the high point of the hill. This is the view off towards the hills in the northwest of the Gower peninsula. I suspect the trig point was of more use surveying the Loughor estuary and Llanelli coast to the north. Due to the low level of land on the south side of the hedge I couldn't get that shot.
