This is the steep natural western slope of Battlesbury Hill, with iron age earth walls and ditches at the top. View from the fort walls on the south-west side. Photo taken during a Heritage Open Days walk with a Ministry of Defence archaeologist - but there is always public access by paths to this hill on the edge of the military training area.
