| Buckland Rings Hill Fort - 24.5.2003 It’s a funny old hillfort this, because it’s barely 30-35 metres above sea level, and not surprisingly is not on much of a hill at all. Does this qualify as the lowest hillfort in Britain? It also all seems to be on private land and with no friendly ‘welcome’ signs around. Two houses (‘Little Rings’ and ‘Buckland Rings Cottage’ – I think, didn’t write it down…oops) seem to have its roadside part. The driveway and woods up to ‘Little Rings’ contains the ramparts of the north-east corner. I walked along the road side (which has a clear gap in the trees near this north-east corner but also has a ‘private’ sign) to the south-west corner where I made my way through the trees to sneak a peak and some piccies of the southern ramparts. This post appears as part of the weblog entry Barrows and Hillforts

I am a dirt jumper and a local who rides at buckland rings, and wow i never knew it has so much history! It is an amazing place to ride, and really nice and sandy in a great location! Does anybody know when bikers started building jumps there? Do comment! |
