Ebury Hillfort is a small univallate hillfort atop Ebury Hill. The site, now partly wooded, is home to a tarmacced caravan site. Archsearch also refers to damage caused to the site by quarrying and by WWII military activity.
A footpath from Haughmond Hill passes along the SE and E part of the fort, but very little could be discerned on our visit. A pleasant spot for a caravan site, but it made it impossible to tell the difference between modern and prehistoric landscaping on this section of the site. The condition of other sections of the fort could not be established because of the lack of access and trees.
