Here's one of the info boards, it might actually be standing on top of a rampart:

The Gloucester Wildlife Trust website is not very informative about walks around the site unfortunately. I thought there might be a map of the permissive paths. There is this though:

Just had a look at those links; the PDF files are great. So it seems that much of this 6000 year old site was ruined by gravel extraction in the 1950 and '60s. That rings a bell!
Thanks for going to the trouble of posting all this information TSC.
