Magical lighting – courtesy of Mother Nature – can’t disguise the three banks of this settlement... looking from the inner-most.

These wooded hillforts are difficult to photograph but possess magnificent atmopshere, particularly when the sun breaks through..........

The central bank... not bad, either. Inner rampart to right of image.

Very dodgy indeed.... the fungi, that is. Not the Iron Age earthworks.

From a distance you wouldn’t notice that Bullsdown Camp was the site of an Iron Age fort as it is so heavily wooded. On closer inspection it is a very large multilavatte fort with 3 banks and ditch’s. Although eroded heavily the earthworks are still impressive.
It is what i would call a valley/plateau fort as it is on rising ground on Bulls down where it gets its name from.
