Been in Rastrick over 6 years I called it the 1 boob hill never what it was or if you could gain access is it still ufo or man made but the views on top are pretty decent plus the cricket pitch is just below also the pub it’s a short but I have always admired from a far now up close
Very unusual hill. First instinct is to say it’s obviously some ancient castle or iron/Bronze Age fortification but experts seem divided on the topic and there’s not much evidence for it being man made. Likely just an unusual natural geological anomaly. Can visit it but it’s right next to the motorway so very noisy and polluted.
Not gonna lie it’s a FIVE star review. Bestest Roundhill in whole wide world. Looks a baldy man’s haircut with top bald and bushes forming the fuzzy sides. Brilliant
How was this place not on Google Maps? It looks like a small volcano, climb to the top and just wonder why does this mound of earth look so much like a miniature volcano!
good hill
