The ramparts are covered mainly with scrub and brambles, with some mature trees: as a result there are few places where the bank and ditch are clearly visible. The outer slopes of the spur are also heavily wooded and although there are a few points from which one can catch a glimpse of Wendover below and the Vale beyond, there are no open views.
Note: Conservation volunteers help protect iron age hill fort, also the ambience of this area threatened by proposed high speed rail link
