Hillfort

You've gotta be a hardcore hillfort fan to visit Markland Grips as what's visible on the ground is a bit of a let down.
Kinda tongue shaped the fort is protected on two sides by ravines; Hollinhill Grips and Markland Grips the west side by ramparts and ditches. The whole place is overgrown a hedge grows along the top of the banking, and the ditch is near impossible to find.
The entrance in the centre is thought to belong to the fort.
The clearest part of the earthworks is on the otherside of the railway banking, where the ending of three ramparts can be seen.
Access is easy down a dismantled railway....
