This slight univallate hillfort located 600 metres south-east of Home Farm in Buckinghamshire is a modest example of Iron Age defensive settlement dating to the pre-Roman period. The monument is characterised by a single defensive bank and ditch circuit, which remains relatively subtle in its modern topography despite its original construction. Such hillforts served multifunctional roles within Iron Age communities, functioning as places of refuge, storage and settlement, and reflecting the territorial and social organisation of their time. The site's survival as an identifiable archaeological feature, albeit diminished, contributes to understanding of settlement patterns and defensive strategies in Buckinghamshire during the Iron Age.
