Hillfort in North Yorshire
This univallate hillfort sits on a spur overlooking Newsham, North Yorks. It measures 230m x 130m with the banks, ditches & walling in varying states of repair. It was obviously built for defensive purposes judging by its position, with steep slopes leading to becks on 3 sides. Although some of the outer bank has succumbed to landslip, much of the inner bank still remains & measures 6m (width) in places. Evidence of walling on top of the banks can be seen at the northern end. This site is on M.o.D land so permission should be sought from the range warden before accessing it.
