Morlas visited on 31st May 2010 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Hard to find a way up to the fort at first ....maybe just us because we didn't follow instructions! Parked down the lane of a very friendly farmer on the South side. Andy is right the trees obscure the site as in sightlines, but we did get that feeling...you know, that bit of a tingle.. so I think it’s worth seeing.
I have a few photos ..not better than already posted, but will post if people want.
