SolarMegalith visited on 14th May 2013 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 3 One of the most spectacular hillforts I have seen in Britain, fantastic location with extensive views and clearly distinguishable stone ramparts and hut circles.
Within the ramparts there are remains of hut circles and a 17th century cairn.
The site has never been excavated, but it was surveyed in 1997 and 2000.
