St. Catherine's Hill, Iron Age hillfort in Winchester, England.
St Catherine's Hill rises 318 feet above Winchester, featuring ancient earthwork defenses that follow the natural contours of the chalk downland slopes.
The hillfort dates back to the 3rd century BCE when Celtic tribes constructed defensive structures before the arrival of the Belgae people around 100 BCE.
The medieval turf labyrinth known as Miz-Maze consists of nine intricate pathways leading to a central point, reflecting both Christian and pre-Christian traditions.
Two main paths lead to the summit: the southern open route and the northwestern shaded path, with 326 steps requiring moderate physical effort.
The site contains one of eight remaining turf-cut labyrinths in Britain, distinguished by its groove-marked path rather than traditional raised turf design.
