TheCaptain visited on 1st Sep 2021 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Cotswold Way walk starting with the steam train from Toddington to Broadway, a beer at the Crown & Trumpet, then walk back south along the Cotswold Way to Stanway, stopping for further refreshment at the Mount Inn, Stanton, below the fortified encampment of Shenberrow Hillfort where I ate my lunch admiring the view.
Excavations in 1935 revealed the inner rampart on the south to have a dry stone revetment on its inner face. Iron Age pottery and Romano British pottery have been recovered from the site together with fragments of iron, a bronze brooch and part of a rotary quern.
