Hillfort in Essex
A wonderful site overlooking the River Stort below and the high land stretching away to Stansted Airport to the east. The fort is Iron Age and must have dominated the Stort Valley.
Two banks and ditches surround the pear shaped hillfort. The rampart is 2m high in places with very steep descents to the marshy ground by the river. The walls are impressive but atmosphere is spoilt by the posh houses inside the fort on an estate called "The Dells"!
