Danebury

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Danebury is an Iron Age hill fort in Hampshire in England, around 12 miles north west of Winchester. The approximately five hectare site was excavated by Barry Cunliffe in the 1970s.

The hill fort was occupied from the 5th century BC until around 100 BC, and the defences were remodelled numerous times. There was a large settlement within the fort consisting initially of square four- and six-post structures, later replaced by roundhouses.
