It is clearly visible. The rest of the feature, including scarp banks running back towards the summit and a hut platform at the summit are almost impossible to discern, but there are faint features that seem to confirm their existence.
Magnificent views make the arduous climb from the Southern end of the hill worthwhile.
Lawley appears to come from old English and means Lafa's-leah, Lafa being a personal name.
Towards the Northern end of the hill there is another hillfort/enclosure. (See separate post)
