Higger_270310_0215 Carl Wark

This is a shot of Carl Wark taken from Higger Tor.

Carl Wark is an escarpment hill fort, using natural sheer cliffs on three sides to provide an easily defended position. It has an elevation of 1250ft and an area of 0.9 Hectares.

This is a hill fort of unproven origin, best thought to be Iron or Dark age in date. Bronze age artifacts are also close by and show a long general occupation of the area.

The image was captured using a Nikon D90 and 55-200mm lens
