What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Pontesford Hill Camp: a small multivallate hillfort 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.
Pontesford Hill Camp is a small multivallate hillfort, likely dating to the Iron Age rather than the early medieval period, and is scheduled as a protected monument in England. While primarily associated with prehistoric defensive structures, local folklore sometimes links such hillforts with fairy traditions or ancient supernatural activity, though specific stories about Pontesford Hill Camp are not widely recorded.
