Description
A prominently sited hillfort known variously as Cribyn Clota or Cribyn Clottas. A slight bank of earth, about 6m wide and a metre high with no visible ditch, forms an almost circular defended enclosure on a gently rounded summit enclosing 0.88 ha. The slopes are not steep but the view in all directions is excellent. The remains have been greatly damaged by agriculture.
