Beautiful sunny Winter's day today, school's off for a long weekend. What finer way to spend a Friday morning than getting some nice fresh air? We decided to walk up Tap o' Noth. Not the easiest place to get to, but so much the better for it. We never saw another soul the whole way up and back down again. Tap o' Noth also has the vitrifed remains of a fort on top. I've covered the mystery of vitrified forts in this blog previously, but this was the first time I've seen one with my own eyes!
The Southern approach, easy for now!
Some time later and after a serious dip in temperature ( even though it' still sunny)!
Inside the fort remains. Must have been a fair size.
Looking along where a wall once stood, possibly 3000 years old!
A lump of rocks vitrified together. Fused by extreme heat? Nobody knows!
