Trundle, Iron Age hillfort in Singleton, England

The Trundle stands on St Roche's Hill, featuring substantial earthwork defenses with two entrances and fifteen house platforms within its ramparts.

Archaeological excavations revealed that the hillfort was constructed between 500 BC and 100 BC on the site of a Neolithic causewayed enclosure from 3700 BC.

First-year undergraduate students participate in field courses at the site from May to July as part of their academic fieldwork requirements.

The archaeological site sits at an elevation of 206 meters, offering clear views across the surrounding landscape through the Cocking Gap.

Aerial photography in 1925 by O.G.S Crawford uncovered previously unknown Neolithic structures inside the Iron Age ramparts.
