Yarnbury Castle, Iron Age hillfort in Steeple Langford, England
The site spans 28.5 acres with three defensive ramparts and outer ditches reaching heights of 3.5 meters above the chalk grasslands.
Archaeological investigations in 1991 uncovered evidence of 130 structures, including round houses, along with Iron Age pottery and Roman coins.
The Winterbourne Stoke sheep fair operated at this location from the 1700s until 1916, when the British Army took control of the area.
The archaeological site maintains visible earthwork formations and remains accessible through the eastern entrance, which features complex fortification structures.
The location holds dual significance as both a scheduled monument and a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its rare chalk grassland flora.
