*Small Correction*
Appears info was a little out of date:

' Its deep ditches and steep rampart are challenging to manage - it has been on the At Risk Register for years due to the impact of damaging vegetation, scrub, trees and bracken.

With this now cleared and under control, Clovelly Dykes hillfort has been removed.
The site, however, remains closed to the public. '
