Milkieston Rings

The fort is on Milkieston Hill, a broad spur projecting north-west from Cavarra Hill. There has been quarrying and stone-robbing of the site, such that interpretation is difficult; two or three phases of construction have been suggested.^[2]

There are two inner ramparts, which are now low stony banks; the innermost encloses a space about 49 metres (161 ft) north-north-west to south-south-east by 37 metres (121 ft), an area of 0.13 hectares (0.32 acres). About a quarter of the interior of the fort has been severely damaged by quarrying; there are traces of two probable house-platforms in the remaining part. There are three or four outer ramparts, built subsequently.^[2]
