Hillfort in Northamptonshire, not to be confused with the nearby Arbury banks at Chipping Warden.
I grew up in the nearby village of Staverton and remember visiting this site as part of a school project when I was very young. There is a very definite and very square ditch and embankment about 200 meters across.
I seem to remember that Arbury Hill is one of the highest points in Northamptonshire, it can be found off the Badby to Upper Catesby road. Unfortunately there is poor access, but maybe permission to look can be gained from the nearby farm.
