There are remains of ramparts and ditches still visible on site. The recent excavations have confirmed the dating of High Peak, with occupation in two discrete unrelated time frames – the Neolithic (prehistoric period - 4000-2000 BC) and Dark Age (early historic period following the end of the Roman Empire – 6th century AD).
