What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Univallate hillfort on Great Wanney Crag 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.
A univallate hillfort on Great Wanney Crag is a single-banked and ditched defensive earthwork, likely dating to the early medieval period or earlier. While primarily a prehistoric or Iron Age structure, such sites were often later associated with folklore, including beliefs in fairy hauntings or hidden otherworldly realms in Irish and British tradition.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
