Distance
3
Iron Age site, South Kirkby
Probably not a hill fort as once believed, because it's on the side of a hill not the summit (which is several hundred yards to the west) and there has been little evidence found of human activity. More likely a defensive enclosure from the years prior to the Roman invasion.

Iron Age site, South Kirkby
Showing the sloping nature of the enclosure (another reason why it's probably not a hill fort) and the extensive view to the north-east. Upton on the hillside in the middle distance, steam plumes from Ferrybridge (left) and Eggborough (right) power stations on the horizon.
