Park Knowe (Enclosure) by GLADMAN The double line of more-or-less contiguous stones that demarcate this hill top enclosure are surely too slight to have been defensive.... in fact too slight for pretty much any use I can think of back in the day. And why wasn't the Fallburn hillfort placed here rather than down below? Guess one possible reason is Park Knowe was already 'taken'... by a ritual enclosure of some nature that the Iron Age locals weren't gonna mess with.
