Looking straight east, one of high peaks on Jura sneaks into view.

A small rise to the right centre of the photo might mark the remains of a well flattened defence.

Faint traces of cropmarks mark where the fort once was, this facing south east.

Take the road the leads east just to the north of the hotel and as the land flattens out climb over the gate into the field. This field is immediately behind the hotel. Sadly there isn’t much to see except for natural defences on the west.

However, placed to the south of the River Sorn, it would have been a great vantage point.

Head back to ferry to Jura time.
