Welcome ! This is a blog for people who want to be a friend of Wincobank Hill, for those who are fascinated, curious or concerned about the unique hill fort set high above Sheffield's Don Valley, encircled by ancient woodland that conceals the mysteries of history.

Who was here and why? Did they live, work or keep watch here? What part did this place play in the politics of an emerging nation? Was this the cradle of the British metal industry? And where was the water?

So many people are beginning to retell their stories, ask good questions and make suggestions that it's time to share what is happening ....

A Tidy Team

Many thanks to all who turned out to tidy up Wincobank Common last Thursday but what a shame that we managed to pile high a skip with the rubbish that had been dropped. It was staggering to see the quantity of cans, crisp packets and pop bottles that had blown into the trees.
It's lovely to see that the area is well used but what is to be done to persuade people to take their litter home?
