Description This hillfort on the chalk is close to the White Horse and linked to Wayland's Smithy by the Ridgeway. Approached from the B4507 it is located at SU 299864. With a single bank and ditch, it originally had a ring of sarsen stones as a parapet wall. There are two oval mounds, one containing a large number of Roman dead. Magnificent views!

Nice picture, when I visite England I always want a grey sky, so these places are more mysterious then they really are....
