Full Description
A large natural hill. Despite the name it is an unlikely situation for a castle or fort. Christiansen (1897) noted that it was 'represented as a strongly marked artificial mound on the OM. I found it, however, to be quite inconspicuous and entirely without remains of buildings or fortification'.
