TheCaptain visited on 29th Aug 2011 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Walk several hundred metres west along the hilltop ridge from the Kings Weston Hillfort, past the large circular earthwork, across the roman road and its earthwork bank, and the open grassland of the hilltop now has several bushy clumps dotted around. Some of these clumps hide the remains of several bronze age burial mounds. The burial mounds are not in the best of condition, but are thought to date back to almost 2000BC. It is a very pleasant spot up on this hilltop, surrounded by the northwestern suburbs of Bristol, but you would hardly know it, and can easily get taken back in time while up here.
