I have seen nothing on any map back to the 6" (1842-52) that indicates there is, or has been, a hillfort here. There are crop-type markings in the birds eye view, but they seem not to indicate anything like a (hill) fort. I have walked to the location and can, if required, send you a photograph of a very flat field of kale.
