TheDruid-3x3 who submitted this site says: "This is a site of a Prehistoric Circle Fort that had a Memorial Column built on top of it to honor Colonel Paget who was Wellington's Calvary Commander at the Battle of Waterloo.
I found a record of this Circle Fort mentioned on Google Maps so while visiting other Ancient Celtic Sacred Sites, I ran over and got Pictures of the Stone Defensive Ramparts of this Site"
Admin note: The fort itself is recorded by Coflein as NPRN 32543, the 'Marquis of Anglesey's Column', and tells us: "1816, Greek doric column, ashlar, to first Marquess, architect - T Harrnon. Inside hill fort, stair inside has slits, narrow platform".
