"Five Barrows" earthworks

Across a spur of the hill running north-east to south-west, there are earthworks, originally a rampart, thought to be an unfinished promontory fort of the Iron Age. The feature has been called the Five Barrows, because it has sunk in places, giving the appearance of separate mounds. The rampart is about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide and up to Шаблон:Convert high, and there is a depression, formerly a ditch, on the south-west side.[3]
