Overview

History & significance

This slight univallate hillfort is located approximately 600 metres south east of Home Farm in Buckinghamshire and represents a modest example of Iron Age fortification. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch system, characteristic of univallate hillfort design, though the earthworks survive in a degraded state reflecting centuries of agricultural use and erosion. Such small hillforts were common across southern England during the Iron Age, serving variously as territorial markers, livestock enclosures, or defended settlements for local communities. The monument is recorded on the National Heritage List for England and remains an important archaeological indicator of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Buckinghamshire landscape.
