Iron Age univallate hillfort situated on the east side of Westcote Hill 500 metres south west of the present Idbury Village (an Anglo Saxon place name).
It's roughly oval rampart is aligned north east to south west and now survives as a low earthwork enclosing about 9 acres. The rampart was rivetted with limestone dry walling and originally stood much higher. Beyond the rampart is a deep defensive quarry ditch seen as a darker band of soil.
Finds of Iron Age and Romano British pottery, coins, weapons and bone have been made within and around the monument. Inhumations have also been found in a nearby stone quarry which date to the Romano British or Anglo-Saxon period. Scheduled."
