What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Bury Ditches, a small multivallate hillfort on the summit of Sunnyhill as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Bury Ditches is a small multivallate hillfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, situated on the summit of Sunnyhill. While primarily recognised as a defensive or territorial monument, it may also have had ritual significance, and local tradition sometimes associates such hillforts with fairy lore or ancient supernatural activity.
