Eddisbury hill fort, Iron Age hill fort in Delamere and Oakmere, England.
The archaeological site spans 15.5 acres and features two defensive ramparts with a central ditch measuring 10 meters in width at the northern section.
The fort underwent substantial modifications between 1-50 AD, followed by Roman occupation, and later transformed into an Anglo-Saxon settlement around 914.
Archaeological excavations at Eddisbury have revealed numerous artifacts, including sling stones and querns, demonstrating the daily activities of Iron Age inhabitants.
Access to this scheduled monument requires coordination with the Forestry Commission and local farm owners who jointly maintain the archaeological grounds.
The fort's strategic position on a sandstone ridge provides extensive views across the Weaver Valley, making it the largest hill fort in Cheshire.
