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.

Earthworks at the southwestern point of Buckholt Woods, near to the massive High Brotheridge settlement and defences, to the west of Cranham in Gloucestershire.

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.
