Coxall Knoll

Coxall Knoll is a hill lying on the boundary of Shropshire and Herefordshire, England; it is near Bucknell in Shropshire and Buckton and Coxall in Herefordshire [1]. On the summit is an Iron Age hillfort, a scheduled monument [1]. The height of the hill is 262 metres and it has a prominence of 120 metres [1]. The hillfort on the summit is roughly oval in shape, measuring about 570 metres west to east and 200 metres north to south [1]. There are earthen banks following the contours of the hill; the slopes below have been made steeper by the builders of the fort [1]. The main enclosure, with three banks and ditches to the north, has an area of about 3 hectares [1]. Adjoining is a roughly triangular eastern enclosure with an area of about 1.8 hectares, and an enclosure to the north of this with an area of about 0.7 hectares [1].
