The site from the southeast, looking towards Oxenton Knolls (left of centre) and Bredon Hill (entre, beyond).
Looking northwest. Belas Knap chambered long barrow is behind the wood on the opposite hillside. Further right is Nottingham Hill, one of the biggest hillforts in the Cotswolds, with Bredon Hill distant far right.
Looking west towards Cleeve Hill.
Looking off the edge of the escarpment towards Winchcombe. The big hill over on the far left is Bredon Hill, which has two forts.

Visited the site today, right next to the road so easy to visit. Banks quite worn but still visible. Lovely views all round. So well worth a visit if your in the area.
