Hexton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hexton is a small village about six miles (10 km) west of Hitchin in Hertfordshire, England. It stands in well wooded and hilly country adjacent to the Bedfordshire border. The church is mediaeval with heavy 19th century restoration. Far older is the Iron Age camp of Ravensburgh Castle which straddles the hilltop. Built about 400 BC and refortified in 1 BC, it has two entrances, covers 22 acres (89,000 m²), and is surrounded by a ditch.
