"how old do you reckon Wychbury is??"

Good question. Well, obviously the hil itself is as old as, well, the hills (boom-cha!), but human occupation changed the way it looked during the Iron Age. here is a wealth of hillforts around these parts, and they all look so similar to me: Woodbury, British Camp, Burf Castle, Meon Hill, Wychbury etc etc.

What interests me about Wychbury are the tumuli, which could be bronze age? Check out the ones at Harborough Hill nearby. What does that tell us? Did the Hwicce build burial mounds?
