The cliffs to the NE of the Hillfort fall abruptly and dramatically onto a boulder strewn hillside - no place for anyone to fall from the fort above! A major reason why the fort was so well naturally defended. 
It must be remembered Haweswater did not exist in its present watery extent in Iron-Age times but a deep valley and small tarn did.
