Old Winchester Hill, Hampshire.

Old Winchester Hill, Hampshire.
On top of the ridge there is the remains of an Iron Age hill fort. From this viewpoint anyone approaching could be easily seen. The ramparts rear upwards for the best defence. The fort is surrounded by a bank and a ditch.

If you can't see the fort, roll your cursor over the image for a guide.

The remains are very clear Keith. I like to walk places like this. We have one nearby called Cadbury Hillfort. Very well captured and another great sky!

I wondered about that too, but I was unable to find out anything. If would have been difficult and dangerous trying! Glad you like the shot Andy!

That old Iron Age fort still shows well in a lovely landscape, Keith
The composition and colours combined with nice depth show the uneven landscape very well.
Excellent capture!

Es ist erstaunlich, dass der Wall nach mehr als 2000 Jahren noch erkennbar ist. Bei uns im Wiehengebirge gibt es die eisenzeitliche Wallanlage Wittekindsburg, die zum Teil noch erkennbar ist.
Ich mag den Blick auf den Hügel und die schönen Grüntöne!
