Wandlebury

Hillfort

Fieldnotes

Pottery shows that people were here in Neolithic and Bronze Age times, but the defences are probably Iron Age. Now the site is quite wooded and encloses a country house. In the summer it's quite busy with be-ice creamed visitors, but it's really quite nice for a stroll.
Lethbridge was positive he'd found a chalk hill figure of a goddess on the side of the slope here. His explorations are described in: The Wandlebury Giants, in Folklore, Vol. 67, No. 4. (Dec., 1956), pp. 193-203.
