Summary
[edit]DescriptionWalbury Hill - iron-age hillfort - geograph.org.uk - 1194117.jpg |
English: Walbury Hill iron-age hillfort This is all that remains of the ramparts (single bank and ditch) that once protected the north side of the large iron-age hillfort that occupied the top of Walbury Hill http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Age. This hill is the highest part of the great chalk escarpment which overlooks the valley of the river Kennet, 3 miles away to the north (that is off to the left in the picture). At 974 feet ASL (279 metres) Walbury is said to be the highest chalk hill in England. Given the fort area covers all of 82 acres and the subsoil is chalk, it must have been a major feat to construct http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=4529.
