I'm not sure if any of you will have seen this but where I live, South Oxfordshire, there has been funding given to see how feasible it would be to build a Wind Farm on top of Cholsey Hill (just 2 miles from Wallingford) which is said to be part of an old Iron Age Hill Fort.

Nothing can be seen of the hill fort any more so I wanted to know if anyone had any more evidence of this fort existing? I'd be interested to know.

Many thanks

Here's the Pastscape page, which indicates the fort has been destroyed (which doesn't mean there won't be buried archaeological features below plough level):
