JoAtherton visited on 22nd Jun 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Managed to park in a layby and walk about 10 mins down the main road to the footpath. Gradual climb over uneven ground to the summit of the hill where the Three Hills can be found. They have a wide margin around them protecting them from the plough - fabulous for butterflies and birds. Great views across the Northamptonshire countryside from the top of the mounds. They were covered in long grass during my visit so it was a challenge to see their actual shape but they don't appear to be perfect humps, with dense vegetation growing in places. Well worth the visit if you're passing but not as dramatic as others I have seen.
(RCHME 1975, 111-2 and plate 1).
Current condition: under grass, but extensively damaged by various activities
