The pub has now been completely demolished after 3 years of legal arguments regarding the renovation Andy mentions above.

It's worth stressing that none of the earthworks are from the Iron Age fort. Indeed, most are medieval re-diggings. A village existed here for a short time in the early 14th century, maybe 30 years or so before it was abandoned.

The hill top was popular for rallies by such as the Chartists and during the Great Weaver’s Strike of 1883, several thousand people braved the cold to listen to their union leaders on the hilltop.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
