Fosbury Camp, Iron Age hillfort in Tidcombe and Fosbury, United Kingdom.

The oval-shaped fort spans 26 acres across Knolls Down, featuring steep slopes to the south, southwest, and east with Oakhill Wood along the northern border.

Built during the Middle Iron Age, this bivallate hillfort incorporated two natural ponds within its ramparts and served as a center for agricultural activities and storage.

The site contains remnants of storage pits and field systems that demonstrate the agricultural practices of Iron Age communities in Wiltshire.

Visitors can access the site through footpaths along the northern area and borders of Oakhill Wood, with the east gateway providing the main entrance point.

The fort includes a 40-foot diameter turf circle near an old dew pond and chalk pit, raising questions about its origin and historical purpose.
