Difficult access. The bottom of the hill is surrounded by a wall of large, megalithic sized limestone blocks. Reminiscent of Hunter's Hill near Carnforth, with a similar megalithic structure. No date or info on this site, more research needed to determine if it is ancient or not.
The site can be viewed from the small road, but please be careful when turning off main road to try and take a look. I don't know about access to the field and site itself.
