Marko visited on 2nd Apr 2017 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 It's been 3 years since i was last here and this time there was a lot more vegetation to contend with!
On my previous visit it was possible to walk around pretty much the whole of the inner rampart.
This time i reckon that less than 50% of the inner rampart was walkable.Lot's of bracken,fallen trees and unforgiving briars to contend with.
The fine inturned entrance on the S.W side now has large holly tree spoiling part of it.Also,tyre tracks were visible in the entrance on this visit.
With a bit of maintenance this could easily be (in my eyes) the jewel in ithe Crown of Staffordshire hillforts.
