About
These earthworks are part of the defences of a vast Iron Age power and trading centre of the Brigantes, which once ran for about 4 miles. You can see an excavated section of the rampart and ditch. Access is up steps on the bank, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs, and the ground may flood.
