Mowsbury Hill, Iron Age hillfort in Bedford, England.
Mowsbury Hill spans 2.8 hectares of protected land, featuring ancient earthworks, a medieval moat, ponds, and a wildflower meadow within its boundaries.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed pottery fragments from the early Iron Age, indicating a settlement with a single defensive rampart structure.
The site serves as an educational center where local schools participate in archaeological programs to learn about ancient British settlement patterns.
Access to Mowsbury Hill is available through the Mowsbury Golf Course car park on Cleat Hill, with marked pathways throughout the reserve.
The location contains both an Iron Age hillfort and a medieval moated manor house site, representing two distinct periods of British settlement.
