2006 – Tim Hills: A fine expansive solid looking tree with many branches from 8′. Some dead branches in the centre have new replacements attached. A makeshift shelter had been built nearby and large fires have burnt themselves out. Girth of 17′ 6” (533cm) at 2′.
2013 – Peter Norton: Close to a well defined path and behind deer fencing, which has been breached sometime in the past, indicating a site often visited. The tree has several lower protrusions which negates a measurement at the root crown, also one large thick ivy stem would also added to the girth. At 3′ the tape can be threaded behind the ivy stem and the lower spray to reveal a girth of 17′ 6” (5.33m). The yew has an approximate break of crown at 8′ from which many branches emerge. The crown looked healthy with no apparent dieback. No basal cavities were noted and the bole does not indicate being hollow.
