Parked at the Town and Country car park at SO597231 where a board proclaims the name of the hill as Chase Hill. Followed rights of way to the 196 spot height, then a brief fight with bracken led into the summit field. Descended directly W from summit through steep but passable woodland.Mark Jackson08/07/2023

A revisit while on Stage 4 of the Wye Valley Walk, Kerne Bridge - Ross. The route up the WVW from the south is steep once you're in the wood; the proper footpath at the foot of the wood seems to now end in a barbed wire fence (there is a permissive path which runs parallel, along the edge of the trees). It's a good hillfort, although the earthworks aren't the most impressive.thesweetcheat13/08/2022

Solo walk from Ross to have a look at the hillfort. Approached along the Wye Valley Walk, the skirted the rampart clockwise. The ground drops most steeply on the west. North of an area of cliffs (quarried) a narrow track heads uphill towards the summit. There would be extensive views from the trig but for the trees, although almost inevitably May Hill is visible - I'm convinced it can be seen from everywhere.thesweetcheat03/06/2017
