Hillfort in Greater London

From SolarMegalith: Caesar's Camp at Wimbledon is a classic example of a plateau fort. It had a single ring of earthworks, which is espacially well visible in western part of the site. The fort probably had 2 entrances, however remains of the NW one are not distinguishable anymore. A hoard of Roman coins from 1st century AD has been discovered here. The site is located on area of a golf club, but the footpath leads through it's middle.

This is probably the best hillfort London has, which doesn't say much since its been majorly changed to have a private golf course over the top of it... No chance of walking the ramparts (or low bank as I like to call it).

No disrespect intended but I'd give this a 2 or maybe 3 for condition & a 2 for access. You can walk across it along a perfectly straight path about 2 metres across with a 6 foot fence either side. Nice.
