Two small buttresses and one larger one. Routes up to E1 but some harder problems either not done or toproped - one very hard wall (cleaned in 1996 but was it done at all?) [Thanks, Justin Sheils](Edit: No it wasn't! Certain death awaits all those who try it.) The preceding text is left for historical interest but is superceded by later developments, including an E7 and E8 in 2013.

The crag has a west facing open aspect in a pleasant position, fairly close to the road. Unfortunately it suffers from lack of traffic and all of the routes require a committing approach and appreciation of rock stability. There are a couple of belay stakes above the main buttress.
Parking and Approach
There is a public carpark by the church at SE467908. The crag will be seen up the hill on the right, the hillside is covered with dense rhododendron and bush whacking is not recommended. Take the bridle way some 200m down the road, cross a field then up the hill above the level of the crag where footpaths appear to left and right. Take the right hand path which approaches a wall which is followed downhill to the top of the crag.
