Wychbury Ring, Iron Age hillfort in Hagley, England
Wychbury Ring measures 250 meters from east to west and 150 meters from north to south, featuring two sets of ramparts and fortified ditches.
The site contains evidence of Roman occupation, with discovered coins and masonry indicating the potential presence of a Roman villa near the fortification.
The elevated position of Wychbury Ring reflects the military engineering capabilities of Iron Age communities through its defensive earthwork construction methods.
Visitors can access the site from the A456 Birmingham Road and explore the double-rampart defenses while observing views across the Severn Valley.
Bronze rings and an Iron Age terret discovered within the fort in 1884 indicate the presence of horse-drawn vehicles at this elevated location.
