Helsby Hill is an Iron Age hillfort commanding a prominent position above Helsby village and grand views in all directions. Combining both natural and human-made features, steep cliffs on the northern and western sides would have provided a natural semicircular defence, while double rampart earthworks to the south and east would have provided protection to those sides.
