The western end of the site showing the banks and ditches.
The earthworks of the settlement/hillfort from the valley south of it.
Taken from the top of Shipton Hill.
I’m not quite sure what the difference is between the hillfort and this site as they appear to be one and the same to me, but it is a large enclosure / fort with multiple banks and ditches. Although it is on a high hill it is not on the crown, it is on a slight slope into the valley.
This may well be secondary to nearby Chilcombe which is about a mile to the east of this site.
