4clydesdale7 visited on 14th Jul 2011 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 4 I must return to carry out a more detailed investigation of the SE and E sides
This site is a univallate hillfort built on a promontory jutting out over a scarp on the S side of the River Coln - it was listed by Witts - the earthworks consist of (in the main) a single U shaped bank with the open end being the scarp to the North - towards the SE and on the E there is some evidence of a possible second bank - the Inner Camp is now laid to pasture and extends over approx. 8 acres - the vast majority of the earthworks have been ploughed out but there is some evidence remaining of an entrance to the SE - on the footpath towards this is a wild english rose bush growing from the bank which enhances a summer visit - it is mentioned on the Pastscape website (No 329713)
