Castle Steads, Gayles

Hillfort

Miscellaneous

Castle Steads is an interesting hillfort, It appears to guard a causeway that runs through it, so much so that there is an external fortified entrance, the other side of a ravine to the hillfort.

It would appear that the initial fort was significantly extended at some point by the building of a large dyke to the south.
