Rulebritannia visited on 10th Apr 2013 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 4 The morning mist engulfed the fort and when I ascended the ramparts I could see very little. However out of the mist I saw horses and a number of sheep.
The livestock gave me a feeling of life with no humans to keep them.

The hillfort was excavated by Professor Barry Cunliffe between 1969 and 1988 and is one of the best-studied sites of the British Iron Age. Many of the finds are to be found in the nearby Andover Museum of the Iron Age.
