There was a funeral going on at the church so no parking. Parked at 44741 58681, down a path and along before a steep climb up to the hill fort. Very careful returning down the steep bit as no ambulances today.clivevilla21/12/2022

Parked at the Church on Rowberrow Lane then bridleway to the NT access ( car parking here to ) at Dolebury Bottom. Steps give easier access to the hill fort than a direct slog up the grass. HP located near the foundations of a cottage, once used by the warrener.DanMaisieBex19/03/2022
