Scratchbury Camp, Iron Age hillfort in Norton Bavant, England
The site spans 37 acres on Scratchbury Hill, featuring defensive earthworks with ditches and ramparts that follow the natural hill contours.
Archaeological excavations during the 19th century by Sir Richard Colt Hoare and William Cunnington revealed bone, pottery, flint, brass, and amber jewelry artifacts.
Seven burial mounds within the enclosure contain grave goods that demonstrate the burial practices and social structures of ancient communities in this region.
Visitors can access the hillfort via a steep path from the parking area near the B3414 road, leading to extensive views of Salisbury Plain.
The site includes metal posts topped with stars marking archaeological points of interest, connecting to the Imber Range perimeter path.
