Background
History
The fort is called "Owen Glendower's Camp". During the English Civil War, local peasants met here to form a clubmen society to protect themselves from the ravages of both the Royalist and Roundhead troops.
Description
The hill overlooks the River Teme to the south-west. The fort (a scheduled monument) has a single rampart with an external ditch. It has dimensions of about 600 m west to east and 350 m north to south, enclosing an area of about 11 ha. There is an entrance with inturned ramparts at the south-west, and other entrances. A track leads north to south through the site.
