Hillbury hillfort
Hillbury hillfort submitted by Andy B : At the north-western corner of Puttenham Common, this is one of its few areas not infested with bracken. The iron age fort is barely discernible as such, its banks are not very noticeable. The interior of the fort is covered in bracken, grass and heather. In the far distance is the west end of the Hog's Back. Copyright Colin Smith and licensed for reuse under this Creative Commons Licence. (Vote or comment on this photo)
