Hiking
This is one of the Iron Age hillforts that lie in a chain from Hambledon Hill to Hengistbury Head. The earthworks here are clear and well-defined, making it fun to ramble about. It has only one rampart, which clouds its history and its construction may have been interrupted by the Romans.
Hiking up to the trig point offers lovely views of the patchwork landscapes around this part of Dorset.
