Padderbury Top

Padderbury Top is a hillfort about 2 mi south-east of Menheniot, in Cornwall, England, named after the hill on which it is situated. It is a scheduled monument.

Description
It is classed as a "defended settlement", being relatively small.

The enclosure is roughly circular. The diameter of the interior, which has been ploughed, is about 80 yd. There is one surviving rampart, 2 – above the interior, and 10 ft externally. There are entrances on the west and east sides.

The rampart is surrounded by a belt of flat ground about 60 ft wide and about 3 ft high: aerial photographs show that this area was originally outer defences, since reduced by ploughing.
