wappenbury submitted by gautrek : A view of a bank and ditch taken from one of the footpaths that cross this fort. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A very nice hillfort with a village nestled inside its banks. It would appear that most of its banks are complete around 2 of its sides. It is visible from the various footpaths which cross this fort at various points.

It also has a very nice church in the centre of the village.

It looks like most of this has been recently ploughed out, from looking at the Google maps aerial view.
