Aconbury Camp, Iron Age promontory fort in Aconbury, England.
The hillfort extends 500 meters in length and 137 meters in width, featuring a single rampart with an external ditch enclosing 7 hectares of land.
Archaeological excavations between 1948 and 1951 uncovered numerous pottery fragments dating from prehistoric times through the Roman period at this defensive settlement.
The engineering design of the ramparts and strategic placement demonstrates the advanced military and architectural capabilities of Iron Age communities in Britain.
The monument remains open for public exploration, though visitors should note the absence of modern facilities and bring appropriate walking equipment.
The fortification includes two specialized entrances at its southeastern and southwestern corners, with ramparts reaching 3 meters above the interior ground level.
