While I'm not going to change anything yet as I haven't checked for references, I'm concerned as to whether this page is accurate. I thought that the fort was iron age, rather than bronze age. And I think that the hill is not an extinct volcano itself, but that the rocks are sedimentary rocks which have buckled under various geological pressures to produce the hill we see today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.151.208 (talk • contribs)
- It's definitely an old volcano. [1] suggests you are wrong on the other account too. — Dunc|☺ 09:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

- This says it's rock of volcanic origin, but the precambrian rocks there and elsewhere in Charnwood are metamorphosed sedimentary rock, so the hill's not an extinct volcano as such. I probably should have paid more attention when Trevor Ford took us all up there twenty years ago, but it was pissing down. --ajn (talk) 09:46, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
