 * Comment. It is hard to get any impression of any "hill" from this photo. In fact, the site looks very flat. 86.190.48.52 (talk) 20:29, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
 * A couple of thoughts on that. Firstly, different images do different things. An aerial perspective is not likely to tell us much about topography but is likely to give us a good impression of the layout. Secondly, it doesn't actually seem to be much of a hill.

 * I see what you mean ... I assumed from the name that being on a hill was an essential aspect of this fort, but it seems that "hill fort" may be a misnomer. 86.190.48.52 (talk) 04:53, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
