Hill fort, Clee Hill. While Titterstone Clee is best known for its industrial archaeology, there are older structures too. These are the remains of a stone wall just below the summit. This is a very large hill fort and one of the highest in England. The spread of stones reminds me of the forts in Scotland rather than the usual earthen ramparts found on other local forts. This side of the hill is undisturbed, beyond the summit much of the hill has been quarried away.
