Iron Age plateau fort in Epping Forest at TL 438004. Easily accessible from the Epping Road opposite the lane to Upshire. Situated on a ridge overlooking the Lea Valley, it has its own stream which rises inside the fort of 4.5 hectares. Impressive banks and ditch remain. Loughton Camp is similar and also in Epping Forest.

First time I have seen Epping Forest since 1968, wish we had known of these archaeological sites then. Bilko (OZ).
