This sensibly named hill is right between Battlesbury Camp and Scratchbury, and is crowned by a be-treed round barrow.

Under it’s alternative name, Starr Hill, it was the location for many a ufo sighting during the famous Warminster ufo flap in the 1960s.

Of course its proximity to Salisbury Plain has nothing to do with strange aerial lights. Really.
