Description April 2005. Looking west from the top of Chalbury hillfort, the remains of the fortifications are in the foreground. The un-natural pits in the opposite hill are very striking, and I haven't yet found an explanation of them (the OS map and google give nothing). Their grid ref is something like SY687836: anyone know what they are?

I believe they are from quarrying, Jim. I walked down through that area after visiting the Bincombe Bumps on Halloween 2003. The Strip Lynchets also abound on the south side of that hill, and around to the NW too.
