Remains of a probable Iron Age hillfort are located on top of Bury Hill, east from Broadleaze Farm. The earthworks are under plough and almost completely leveled.
To reach Bury Hill you have to turn left (going from the south) near the Oldfield Farm and leave Heath Farm on your right. When the footpath splits into two, choose the right one which leads to the forest - Bury Hill is right behind the trees.
