The Rock of Dunamase is a good example of a castle-ruin on a hill!
The Weathertop stones make me think of the Callanish stone circle on the Isle of Lewis. Constructed about 4,000 years ago, by modern times peat had grown up around them, to at least a meter in height, and in the mid-1800s the circle was excavated.
The tower on Weathertop was destroyed in 1409, or 1600 years before this story. That could be enough time for the local vegetation to die, decay, and cover many of the smaller stones.

"I desired dragons with a profound desire"
"It struck me last night that you might write a fearfully good romantic drama, with as much of the 'supernatural' as you cared to introduce. Have you ever thought of it?"
-Geoffrey B. Smith, letter to JRR Tolkien, 1915
