A strange site which as been connected with the movement of the Stonehenge sarsens.
Classified as an Iron age hillfort or unfinished enclosure on the Wiltshire and Swindon Sites and Monument Record, the details read " A defended enclosure, probably never completed. The west side is preserved best with an inner bank 8m wide, ditch 4m wide. N and E of the hillfort has been reduced to a simple scarp."
