The Berrow
The Berrow submitted by HarryTwenty : Eastern ramparts, looking north. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This large univallate hillfort in Worcestershire commands its position on a steep sided hill overlooking the River Teme. It survives as an irregular elongated enclosure with a modified escarpment which covers the top of the hill. The hillfort is orientated northeast to southwest and is up to 355m long and 155m wide, tapering in the centre.

The north, north eastern and southern sides are defined by a counterscarp rampart bank up to 1.2m high. The remaining sides are defined by an earthen rampart up to 5.8m high on top of the natural escarpment. The hillfort has a large gap approximately 56m long on the south eastern side of the bank and an entrance gap at the south eastern corner and an inturned entrance gap on the western side.
