Marko visited on 9th May 2015 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Visited as part of walk around the Clee Hills.
Amazing views - you can see why the hillfort was built here.
Shame that the rampart has been quarried into,but it was still good to visit a hillfort that's not covered by trees!

Not far away but less well preserved are Clee Burf and Titterstone Clee hillforts which has remains of cairns.
