Solo. Parked in layby (signed) immediately S of access track. Only space for 4 cars. A few interpretive panels are worth a read. Continued to Fursdon Hill.MickyRoss23/12/2021
Small layby (3cars) about 100m S. of start of RoW at SS 9145 0465 - Up well-worn ancient pathway, through entrance to hill fort & NW for about 100m to the natural high point which lies within the ramparts. Continued to Fursdon Hill. (S)gerrybowes06/09/2021
Parking 100 mts south of fp. Good path. Fine views from hilltop fort defences.Campbell Singer31/03/2019
Well preserved earth embankments of ancient fort, apparently constructed 500-300 BC by Dunnonian tribes for defence and trade as part of a network of similar hillforts, later developed and used by Romans in c450 AD, when it acquired its current name and even occupied by Parliamentarians during the civil war 1645-6, until dispersed by a great storm... or possibly a protective dragon. HP on northern grassy embankment.Denise 02/04/2018
Parking in dedicated layby to S and well signed and good path up to the excellent well maintained hill fort with interesting informative signs. Fine views NW. Short grass surrounded by ~150m diameter earth embankment.RichardM02/04/2018
