Dudderhouse Hill

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe Dudderhouse Hill long cairn has been designated a Scheduled Monument - the highest level of heritage protection available in England. The long cairn survives as a partly turf-covered oval mound of stones, about 23m (75ft) long, 12m (39m) wide and 1m (3ft) high. "It doesn't look particularly impressive and that's one of the problems," Paul Jeffery, Historic England's national listings manager, said. "Nearby, about 70m (230ft) away, there's a cairn where people have added stones over time. Unfortunately, because they don't realise that this is such an important site, some people walking past pick up stones from what they think is just this pile and then add them to the other cairn and obviously that causes harm."

Winklebury Camp (Hampshire)

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThe impressive banks of this hillfort survive in deepest Basingstoke. It has a single rampart (which has been developed right up to) and a ditch enclosing almost 6 hectares (15 acres). The site has suffered a lot of development in recent times: it is surrounded by a housing estate and in 1977 a school was built within the ramparts. Excavations discovered two Iron Age phases; firstly from the 6th to 5th century, and secondly from the 2nd to 1st centuries BC.

This part of western Europe was the home of the Menapii, a Celtic tribe, until the Romans came. The Romans and Celts mingled. But in 170CE there were invasions from Germany and the Roman soldiers built a Castellum on the high sand ridge, with the name Rodanum.
