Ranbury Ring
Ranbury Ring submitted by 4clydesdale7 : Bank and ditch on SW looking SE (Vote or comment on this photo)
Remains of an Iron Age bivallate hillfort in Gloucestershire. This well defended site consists of a 30ft wide ditch and a 35ft wide rampart standing some 12ft tall with two entrances one to the SE the other to the NW.

On the NW side much of the ditch has been infilled - in places there is also a small outer ditch - it reputedly has not been excavated - the fortifications enclose an area of roughly 11.5 acres - certainly well worth a visit and relatively easy to walk to and round
