Liddington Castle

The earthwork structure spans 3 hectares on an elevated position at 275 meters above sea level, offering views across the surrounding landscape.

Established in the 7th century BC, the fort features an oval bank of timber and earth with a frontal ditch and two opposing entrances.

Archaeological excavations in 1976 uncovered a ritual shaft within the fort, indicating the site held ceremonial importance for Iron Age communities.

The monument remains open for public visits throughout the year, though the terrain requires appropriate outdoor footwear and weather protection.

During World War II, the site served as a Starfish decoy location, with a command bunker constructed nearby to mislead enemy aircraft.
