| The
Caesars Camp hillfort is protected to a
degree by it being within a large area of land managed by
the M.O.D on the edge of our village, and as a result it remains
in good archeological condition.
It is recorded as being
National Monument Number 20185, and has a National Grid
Reference of SU83555006.
Dating back to the Iron
Age (between 600 B.C and 50 A.D), the
hill fort is described as having been a univallate hill fort,
but continued to be developed during the Iron Age to multivallate hill fort status,
(multivallate:- to possess many ditches, e.g. a hillfort.
The term is usually reserved for places with three or more
ditches), making the Caesars Camp hillfort one of around fifty
such sites across the country, the remainder being mostly in
Wales (the Marshes) and Wessex. |
