Coal tax post
These are found all around the perimeter of London. They are marked with the crest of the city of London and were erected around 1860. They marked the boundary after which an extra tax had to be paid on coal destined for use in London. Tax was not collected at the posts. They served as a reminder only.

Ambresbury Banks
Hidden among the beech trees at the northern end of Epping Forest, are earthworks believed to date from around 500BC. They may have been built as animal folds or possibly as a lookout or boundary marker between the territories of rival tribes. What is known for certain is that , despite local legend, this is not where Queen Boudicca was defeated and killed.

Epping Forest: Ambresbury Banks
Another winter view of Image According to the information board, the Banks are believed to have been built around 500 BCE, and been in use as animal corrals until at least the Roman invasion in 55 BCE. Local legend apparently claims the site as that of the death of the Queen Boudicca, though the story has no historical basis.

Ambresbury Banks
Ambresbury Banks is an Iron Age encampment and now signposted as an ancient monument. This is where Boudicca, the Iceni warrior queen, is sometimes said to have made her last stand against the Romans in AD 61 - though never proved. In defeat she poisoned her two daughters and herself so as not to be captured. There is nothing left of the wooden fort, but the high banks on which it stood and the ditch around it are both still very visible. To walk around the ditch will take a while as it encloses and area 4.5 hectares. Some also suggests it may have been re-used by King Arthur in his fight against the Danes.
This is on the route of the London Green Belt Way.
