 | These Celtic Wincobankers lived in a wetter, cooler climate than ours and they had to defend themselves against the brown bear, wolf, lynx, and wild cat, while the golden eagle hovered and swooped. |
| This Wincobank hill- fort, remains of which may still be seen today, had in its initial stage a single rampart, in appearance like a three-metre-high dry stone wall, rubble filled and about a metre and a half thick, on top of which was a pallisade of stakes. |
| The Duke of Norfolk presented Wincobank fort to Sheffield earlier this century and the site is now under the protection of the Department of the Environment as a monument of national importance. |
