Log Text: Busy with walkers and dogs so hard to capture the true ambience!
Walked the inner ditch on SE and SW sides.Massive inner rampart
No ditch or rampart on other two sides due to it being a 'promontary fort' Therefore due to the terrain,no defences were needed at the NW and NE sides.

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!!

Log Text: Half a hill fort is better than none! I intended to visit this site whilst on holiday nearby.Was out on another walk and saw the hillfort,but as i wasn't expecting to visit as soon i hadn't got my notes with me. - Fatal,as i thought that what was actualy a central bank was the South East limit of the fort.Only realised later that i'd missed the chance to see about half of the defences.
However,the half of the hillfort i did see was worth the climb up from Oldcastle.The North West rampart was under bracken but was still impressive (as was the central bank).A modern track runs right alongside the South Western rampart.The North Eastern side is defended by the natural steep slope of Hatterall Hill.
