Image of Allabury (Hillfort) by Mr Hamhead

Not the easiest place to capture on film. I hope this shot gives an idea of the place, high banks topped by ancient oaks.

Mr Hamhead Dec 2, 2002

This Iron Age Round is situated on the northeast side of Hawks Tor, near the village of North Hill. Not easy to get at, it is also on private land. A footpath runs above and below it, the one running below giving best access.
At first I thought I was just in another field untill i noticed the size of the banks. These run round about two thirds of the round and have a deep ditch outside them. On top grow ancient oaks. The area above ythe round is gradually being taken over by rhododrendrons whilst below it the valley is of ancient woodland.
I have not been able to find out too much about this site, and would welcome any other info.
