wardrop04 visited on 16th Sep 2021 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 The site is hard to access as most is on private land some can be seen from the east footpath. The location of the supposed harbour is visible but not recognisable due to overgrowth.

Hillfort in Bedfordshire. The site is believed to be an ancient hill fort. The hill is clearly visible with a meandering river runner south to north, some clear defensive earthworks and path to the east. There is a small barbed fence between the footpath and the site but this does not obscure the view.

I made this before i had made an account hence the "post by anonymous" There is little known history of the site, it is believed it may have been a harbour fed by the near by river Hiz but due to local infrastructure this has been much destroyed.
