Like Image, this looks up the eastern slopes of Michaelstow Beacon to the univallate hillfort described at https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1006707 . "There is a rectangular outwork to the east which measures approximately 100m long by 40m wide. A distinct hollow way runs through the entrance of the outwork and parts of the rampart". The earthworks are picked out in the winter afternoon sunshine. See also Image
