Wandlebury Hill Fort
Wandlebury Hill Fort, Iron Age hillfort in Stapleford, England
The circular fortification spans 6 hectares with double defensive ditches and earthen ramparts constructed from chalk and soil materials at 62 meters elevation.
Built around 400 BC, the fort served as a settlement for the Iceni tribe before Romans established their presence, as evidenced by discovered pottery and coins.
The site holds connections to medieval literature, appearing in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur under the name Wandesborow Castle.
The archaeological site maintains open access for visitors who can examine the preserved earthworks, fortification structures, and remains of a 17th-century garden.
The stable complex within the fort's boundaries housed the Godolphin Arabian horse from 1733 to 1753, contributing to early thoroughbred racing development.
