TheCaptain visited on 31st May 2021 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Walking a Cooper's Hill Circuit of the Cotswold Way from Cranham, and first off had a look at these small earthworks. I am not convinced they would have been of much use defensively, being on a slight slope not at the top of the hill, and not very large.
I cannot readily find out anything of their history, and am not convinced they would have been of much use defensively, being on a slight slope not at the top of the hill, and not very large.
