Arbury Banks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arbury Banks, Ashwell is a horseshoe-shaped hillfort. It was probably first constructed during the Late Bronze Age (1000-700 B.C.), and like Wilbury Hill Camp (SW of Letchworth), forms one of a band of six similar hillforts along the northern Chilterns. Excavations in the 1850s traced the ramparts and identified two opposed North-north-west and South-south-east entrances. Evidence was also discovered for several enclosures or buildings inside the fort.
