Kelsborrow


This hillfort is in private ownership and is located close to Kelsall, one of the largest settlements in the Scheme area.  There are panoramic views to the west and along the Ridge. 

The fort itself is a grassland field.  There is a woodland strip to the west and south west which it is planned to enhance. To the south east there is the semi-natural broadleaved woodland of Birch Hill.  A public footpath runs along the eastern edge of the hillfort.

The hillfort is defined by steep cliffs to the south-west and south-east, with the curving arc of a rampart enclosing the northern side, forming a wedge-shaped enclosure.
