Geograph - photograph every grid square

Listed as pre-Roman Iron Age multivallate hillfort. Within the settlement a wall of large upright slabs divides the enclosure into a small west end and a larger eastern end. This is shown as a 'tunnel' on the modern OS map. The large rocks known as Piper's Chair and Punch Bowl are on the cliff edge in the centre of the photo NZ0581 : Piper's Chair above Shaftoe Crags. The steep side of the Shaftoe Crags' escarpment makes defences unnecessary on the south and west sides. On the north there are three ramparts ranging from 3 ft 6 ins to 8 ft 6 ins in height; those on the east side have been worn down. There are two entrances, one on the east side, and one on the north-west, visible in this photo.
