    Hiking

    It's thought that these earthworks were originally an Iron Age hillfort before being subsequently used as a Norman motte and bailey castle. It's easy to see why you'd build here, the views are exceptional and the location is a natural promontory. The earthworks are still very much apparent, and give the hill a fascinating, lumpy characteristic.

    Pronounced Bynol. Not much is known of this place. Unsure whether a mid age Castle or Iron age Hillfort. Impressive though. Pics don't do any justice to the scale of the place. Go visit and you'll see it differently
