Hillfort in Wiltshire. Said to be the site of Arthur's victory over the Saxons at Mount Badon, but without any evidence whatsoever. Reached by a steep climb from the Ridgeway and giving superb views.

Liddington submitted by Thorgrim Liddington Castle is one of the earliest forts in Wiltshire. Its association with Arthur's victory at Mount Badon probably stems from the fact that the village of Baydon is overlooked by the fort.
There was a small excavation at Liddington hillfort in 1976, and it was found that the ramparts were constructed in four different phases, the last being Saxon, probably why it has been associated with the site of Arthur's battle. Its scheduled as "slight univallate" which probably gives it an age range from late Bronze to early iron age, also it is close to the Ridgeway.
