From SolarMegalith: Anstiebury Camp is a medium-sized bivallate hillfort. The earthworks are particularly well preserved in northern and eastern sectors of the fort, from the south it is protected by a sharp slope. The earthworks are not as impressive as in other Iron Age hillforts in this part of England - it is possible, that they were never finished or dismantled after arrival of the Romans. The entrance is opened to the north, but I am not sure if it is a primary one. Anstiebury Camp has a very good ambience. I recommend a visit in December, when you can catch glimpses of view towards the south among the trees.
