Bathampton Down, Iron Age hillfort in Bathampton, England
The limestone plateau of Bathampton Down rises 204 meters above sea level, providing clear views across the River Avon and Bath city.
Archaeological excavations at Bathampton Camp revealed evidence of human settlements dating from the Mesolithic period through flint tools and burial urns.
The rectangular enclosure of Bathampton Camp extends 650 meters east to west and 500 meters north to south, demonstrating Iron Age military engineering.
Visitors can access the hillfort through multiple walking paths while exploring the surrounding area that now includes the University of Bath campus.
Two Romano-British stone coffins discovered at Bathampton Down indicate the area served as a burial ground during the Roman occupation of Britain.
