Description: Also known as Combs Moss, Castle Naze is situated about two kilometres to the west of Dove Holes (the village famous for the Bull Ring henge) atop a steep gritstone escarpment at 427m (1400ft) above sea level. Overlooking Combs Reservoir and the village of Combs the hillfort is defended naturally on the northern and western sides and by a double rampart to the south. It can be seen from the Dove Holes to Combs road, a single-track road running to the north of the hillfort. The fort is roughly triangular in shape, occupying approximately 0.9 hectares (2.25 acres). It was surveyed in 1957 by students from a Nottingham University summer school and The Workers' Educational Association of Buxton, when it was established that the fort had undergone three phases of construction, two of the Iron Age period and one Medieval. Obvious differences in the method of construction confirmed that the two prehistoric phases were not contemporary. (information from www.megalithic.co.uk)
