Iron Age hill fort defences on Cademuir The scattered boulders in the grass, beyond the nearest fringe of loose boulders, have been embedded across the ridge to impede attackers on foot or horseback - there are over 60 in this view, protruding up to 50cm or so above ground. Obstacles such as this are known as 'chevaux de frise' and the concept was still used in the Second World War in the form of large concrete anti-tank defences around our coasts. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1540932">NT2237 : Iron Age defensive structure, Cademuir Hill Fort</a> shows a different view of these defences.
