Old Sodbury
Date Added: 25th Aug 2011
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Aug 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Old Sodbury submitted by Thorgrim on 18th Oct 2003. The internal banks and ditches are rectangular with rounded corners, very like the layout of Roman forts. This suggests that a Roman fort has been added to an earlier one.
