Hillfort in Northumberland

Remains of this small Iron Age hillfort are located at the top of a hill, within the area of a local golf course. The ramparts and ditch are well-distinguishable in the southern and western part of the fort. In the central part of the site there is a 19th century colummn comemorating Nelson's victory in the battle of Trafalgar.
