It is often surprising when re-visiting a site how things are different from how you remember them.

The thing which struck me on this visit was how high the inner rampart was. It is a good 2 metres or more but I remembered it as being about the same height of the outer rampart which is only about half the height.

Another thing I had forgotten about was the berm running along the inside of the outer bank. I wonder why this was put there?

As before I parked near the water works and followed the path up to the site.
(Glad I had my wellies on as the path was very muddy)

An easy site to access and well worth a visit when in the area.
