Oldbury Camp (Herefordshire)
Oldbury Camp (Herefordshire) submitted by byll : Rampart at North east corner looking west. just below the two hedge lines below the wood you may be able to make out the top of an 'outer rampart' (now looking more like a land rover track). Misty day... (Vote or comment on this photo)
Hillfort in Herefordshire

Iron age Hillfort From Pastscape: "Oldbury Camp is a roughly oval enclosure. The ridge has a steep slope on the W and slight slope on the E and S; the ground rises slightly to the N. The W face of the camp has a scarp and berm. On the N there are traces of a scarp, an inner rampart and faint traces of a ditch in the western half. On the other side the defences have been ploughed down, but a scarp remains to show the outline of the earthwork."
