This was a fortified manor inhabited by local rulers during the Iron Age. besides outbuildings and the dwelling house, this manor also had a hall. It was a house used for festivities, councils and ceremonial purposes. This was a time of unrest, when the local cheiftains fought each other. Fire ravaged the hill's fort at least three times, possibly in connection with enemy raids.
