This Iron Age Hill Fort on the Ridgeway, is now a country park, but was first used 2,500 years ago

Looking towards Swindon was hazy, but the fields of rape show up

We could see blue fields of flax (linseed) across the fort

There is an outer ditch surrounding it

then a much deeper inner ditch

The centre is relatively flat

This may have been the dew pond
