Broadbury Banks
Broadbury Banks submitted by Bladup : Lidar image of Broadbury Banks Source: www.lidarfinder.com (Vote or comment on this photo)
Broadbury Banks is a univallate hillfort, This defended enclosure was probably never completed. The west side is preserved best with an inner bank 8m wide, ditch 4m wide. North and East of the hillfort has been reduced to a simple scarp. An old chalk quarry is at its northern end.

The interior has been in arable cultivation, and has been photographed from the air at relatively regular intervals since the 1940s but no interior features have been recorded as cropmarks on aerial photographs so far. Two dark marks in the centre of the enclosure, recorded on 1945 aerial photographs, may be relatively modern and do not seem to represent archaeological remains.
