An aerial view of the hillfort, unfortunately not dated, I assume it’s pre war as much more polughing seems to have happened to the site.

Banbury Hill

Hillfort

formicaant Apr 20, 2007

This is a more subdued Dorset hillfort than either nearby Hod or Hambledon hills. It shows on the ground as a low bank from the footpath, the site itself is on private farmland. As I was feeling law abiding and being looked at by a bloke on a tractor in the next field, I decided not to climb the gate and go for a look.
