"Earthwork remains of an Iron Age bivallate hillfort. Also the site of a medieval deer park and post-medieval warren. Situated 800 metres north west of Lyneham House. The hillfort consists of three lines of ramparts on the north and west sides of the spur which are between 15 metres to 40 metres apart. The entrance lies to the north west. Despite some damage by ploughing and stock erosion the earthworks are well preserved. The inner rampart of the hillfort was reused to form part of the pale for Lyneham deer park which was in existence by 1610. The rabbit warren was situated on the valley floor on the east side of Warren Wood. The ruin of a single-roomed warrener's house is situated within the ramparts of the hillfort. Scheduled."
