Wapley Hill, Archaeological site in Staunton on Arrow, England.

The fort at Wapley Hill contains multiple lines of defense with five steep banks and ditches arranged in a strategic pattern.

The Iron Age fortification at Wapley Hill served as a defensive structure, demonstrating advanced engineering capabilities of ancient British settlements.

The ritual shaft discovered within the fort indicates religious practices and ceremonial activities of Celtic communities during the Iron Age period.

Visitors can access the hillfort through the southern entrance, following marked footpaths that connect to the broader Herefordshire Way trail system.

The fort contains visible ridge and furrow marks from historical farming, along with medieval pillow mounds that indicate different periods of land use.
