Padderbury Top

Padderbury Top is a hillfort about south-east of Menheniot, in Cornwall, England, named after the hill on which it is situated. It is a scheduled monument.

Description

It is classed as a "defended settlement", being relatively small.
The enclosure is roughly circular. The diameter of the interior, which has been ploughed, is about. There is one surviving rampart, above the interior, and externally. There are entrances on the west and east sides.
The rampart is surrounded by a belt of flat ground about wide and about high: aerial photographs show that this area was originally outer defences, since reduced by ploughing.
