Hillfort in Bedfordshire
Remains of an Iron Age univallate hillfort, which is partly ploughed over. The rampart has been supported with a timber pallisade similar to the one in Hollingbury hillfort. The site has been inhabitated also in medieval period (remains of a medieval enclosure of 110 x 80 m diameter are still visible).
