Within the hill fort can also be found Bronze Age barrows dating between 2100 to 750 BCE. The fort itself was probably built in the Early or early-Middle Iron Age (600-300 BCE) and fell out of use around the beginning of the Late Iron Age (150-100 BCE), as this is the general pattern for hill forts in the south-east of England.
The presence of Bronze Age barrows within the hill fort, along with its construction during the Early or early-Middle Iron Age and its eventual decline around the beginning of the Late Iron Age, are all consistent with the general pattern observed for hill forts in southeast England.
