About CR 1 ABD

The low grass-covered mound near Ferryhill doesn't look like much at first - you could walk straight past it without noticing. But CR 1 ABD is an Iron Age fort, one of those archaeological sites that rewards a bit of curiosity and a decent pair of boots. The ramparts are still visible if you know what to look for, though it's hardly Hadrian's Wall in terms of drama. What you get is a genuine sense of how people fortified their settlements two thousand years ago, with views across the landscape they would have watched over. History types will find it genuinely interesting; casual visitors might spend twenty minutes poking around and moving on. There's no visitor centre or interpretation boards, so come prepared to use your imagination. Free to visit, obviously. The nearest base would be either Seaview Caravan Park just five miles away or Deeside Holiday Park a bit further out - both solid choices if you're exploring Aberdeenshire's archaeological trail. Best visited on a clear day when the views aren't obscured, and you won't regret combining it with a walk around the wider area. It's the kind of place that makes sense as part of a broader day out rather than a destination in itself.
