This Iron Age hillfort lies just outside the quaint village of Chesterton, and can be accessed by a public footpath. The 'walls' themselves comprise of a defensive earth rampart encircling the site, which sits high above a steep sandstone gorge, which you can walk down to. Though dating back before then, it seems the site was occupied in Roman times as Roman coins and a gold ring were discovered here. The long, straight road nearby indicates why the site was important then.

Walking around the site, leading on from the public footpath, there is a clear path which loops around the walls. Though there are signs which say 'private property', the path is well used by locals.
