Woodhouse Hill Camp, Iron Age hillfort in Frodsham, England
The earthwork features steep cliffs on its western side and includes a defensive rampart positioned along the northern and eastern sections of the site.
Archaeological excavations conducted in 1951 revealed that the original rampart measured 4 meters in height and incorporated stone reinforcements on both faces.
The discovery of rounded stones at the site indicates the presence of defensive equipment used by early inhabitants to protect their settlement.
Located 500 meters west of Mickledale, the monument sits within Snidley Moor Wood, managed by the Woodland Trust for public access.
The fort occupies a strategic position at 137 meters above ordnance datum, enabling surveillance across the surrounding Cheshire landscape.
