The Hill Fort At Roubank
Set on a hill to the SW of Roubank is a small semi derelict hill fort or watchtower. The locals have been using the main courtyard as a stockade for livestock.
The walls are in generally good order, although the main gate has been replaced by a rickety lath fence. The tower, whilst the main entrance hall is still solid and safe – the other two stories are less secure, certainly the staircase looks dangerous.
The fort is approximately 100’ in diameter, roughly circular with 8’ high walls, a 4’ high walkway runs around the inside of the walls. The main keep itself 40’ diameter and 60’ high, topped with partially crenelated walls.
