Walked the inner ditch on SE and SW sides.Massive inner rampart

Bury Bank (Staffordshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 20th May 2006. The inner platform with trees following the arc of the rampart. Courses of pebbles can also be traced, forming what must have been walls at some period. See main entry for details.

Log Text: Parked in the car park at nearby pub.(Darlaston Inn),at junction of the A34/A51.Walked up the A51 to footpath on the right,(just after passing Bury Bank farm),this led to the quarry area as described by Tim Prevett.A short walk then to the outer rampart.....protected by a low barbed wire fence.Spent an hour there with the place all to myself.
Best remains are on the West side.
Suggest you vist in Winter or Spring.........lower undergrowth!!
