The remains of this Iron Age hillfort can be found near the top of the 100 m high hill Stenshuvud in Skåne. The whole area is a National park.
The north side of the hill is very steep and there was only a stonewall at the south side of the top. There is only a short piece of the stonewall left.
It's a 800 m uphill walk from the parking lot to the top. Visitors are rewarded with a very nice view though.
