Marko visited on 1st Apr 2018 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 The closest hill fort to home and therefore one that i had never previously visited!
Good remains of the inner rampart ditch and counterscarp bank on the west side - just a few steps away from the modern lane. There is a suggestion that the lane might have been the site of another ditch but i've read that this theory is now discredited.
Also good remains of the rampart on the North side.
No remains left now of the entrance (South side) This was widened out some years ago when marl was being extracted from the interior of the fort. A modern house now spans the gap!
The mid point of the Western defences are also breached by a cottage- How the hell did these 2 propertIes get planning permission?! Shame on those who let them build on an ancient monument.
There is a spring fed pond in the North West corner.From where there are excellent views over to the Wrekin and its hill fort.
