Bank Holiday Monday 30th May 2005 - From Kington we took the B4355 to Titley, and minor road through Stansbatch. to the car park at the east end of the woods.  From here, we followed the very obvious tracks through the woods to the "Pillow Mounds" fort.  We walked the crest of the ramparts in an anticlockwise direction until I found a point which appeared to be as high as anything else, and with the least trees in the northerly direction.  Six 2m FM contacts, and very straightforward.  SOTAwatch appeared to be working very effectively!
