Roughly square topped hill with a visible bank rampart. Iron Age settlement. Fantastic view across countryside from summit. Highest point in Northamptonshire (224 metres above sea level). Sadly spoiled on one side with a dirt track for motorbikes. Possible connection with Borough Hill to the north east. No official access but a bridleway runs close by. The River Nene rises in a spring to the South east. Posted by Damonm
