Ramparts

One of the terminal ends of rampart belonging to Castle Piece, a Iron Age hillfort in Roe Enclosure (1811).  A uivallate (one ditch, one rampart), sloping enclosure, the site would have afforded little defence and rather than a fort we should view Castle Piece as lightly defended developed settlement, supporting an extended family or two along with their animals.  A nice site with a pleasant ambiance.
