Looking after Wincobank Hill

. 
Wincobank Hill is a rare example of a Neolithic hill fort inside a city boundary. This aerial photograph shows the oval shape of the ramparts sandwiched between the Sandstone Estate on the left and the Flower Estate (now replaced by the new Amaranthus development) on the right. The light square at the bottom marks the site of Parkin's Tower commonly known as Wincobank Castle. For centuries, well-worn pathways have criss-crossed the hill, connecting communities, weaving histories. 

Our campaign is to preserve this neglected site for the enjoyment of all, to protect it from further development and to discourage illegal dumping and damage from motorcycles.  We want to explore the history, protect the pathways, conserve the wildlife, reconnect the communities.  Join us - we need your help.
