Madrid_Miner visited on 31st May 2010 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 2 Walking up the hill to this site was a bit tricky. There were fences to climb, brushy corridors to circumvent, hidden rocks and holes along the way, and cattle in the fields. I chose to walk in from the trail down from the ring fort to the south, but then walked out towards the school house at the west end of the marshy field. Neither path was easy walking. There were no roadside indicators or gates that made the trek to these sites straight forward.
