neolithic age, hillfort, iron age
This magnificent Iron Age hillfort conceals traces of earlier periods. There are two Neolithic causewayed enclosures, one in the central part and a smaller one on the south-eastern spur of the hill, and a long barrow, 73m long, in the middle section . The hillfort is encircled by double ramparts and on the south-east, a double ditch was built to increase the defences.
