Ilbury Camp

Hillfort

Fieldnotes

Ilbury Camp is a pear shaped univallate fort. It is well defined on its west side by a rampart About 3 metres high.The east side of the fort has been ploughed down but you can still work out the outline of the fort.
The break in the rampart in the centre of the southern side appears to be the original entrance.
The site commands good views all around and looking from the east is a very impressive looking site. Ilbury is believed to date from the iron age.
