Bulstrode Camp is the largest Iron Age fort in Buckinghamshire. Originally in quite a dominating position, it is now surrounded by suburban housing and is more of a local park than a notable antiquity. The circular fortifications are covered with trees and undergrowth as seen here. The interior is a grassy meadow. The name Bulstrode, first recorded as ‘Burstrod’, derives from the Anglo-Saxon for “the marsh belonging to the fort” More information on http://gerrardscross.gov.uk/bulstrode-camp/
