St Gregory's Hill - Iron Age hill fort
-
Description
Visible rampart/ditch of St Gregory's Hill fort. Part of the remains of a bivallate hillfort located on the summit of St Gregory's Hill, south of Kirknewton. Thought to be of late Iron Age origin, and later Romano-British settlement. "The hillfort comprises the remains of two circuits of stone-built rampart, overlain by two enclosed settlements of a type usually thought to be of Romano-British or possibly late Iron Age date. Traces of as many as twelve circular buildings are identifiable in the interior, of which all but one are probably Romano-British. On the slopes to the east and west of the hillfort, cultivation terraces which may be of prehistoric origin are contained within field boundary banks typical of the Romano-British period, most of which have been severely degraded by ploughing of medieval and post-medieval date." https://historicengland.org.uk/research/results/reports/126-2002" rel="noreferrer nofollow">historicengland.org.uk/research/results/reports/126-2002 -
