Hanging Langford Camp, an Iron Age/Romano British settlement, linked by a ditch to a ‘banjo’ type enclosure lying below it, known as Church-end Ring. Very hard to see anything as the site is heavily wooded but you can see some of the earthworks along the southern edge of the woods.
Situated to the south of the village of Hanging Langford, East Castle is a small enclosure with a single bank and ditch which at the most is no more than 1 meter high, and about 50 meters in diameter. Heavily wooded it took a while to find but a nice little site, one of many in the area.
Visited the site today and found access very limited and could only get this shot taken from the village of Little Langford which it sits above.
Visited Ladle Hill and stumbled across a very well preserved Disc Barrow on the northern slope of the hill. I would say it is about 30ft in diameter with a ditch surrounding it at about 4ft deep. A lovely spot to visit as the hill commands good views of the nearby Beacon Hill.

Chisbury is a small pear shaped hillfort above the hamlet of Chisbury. It has bivallate & trivallate defences which are mostly wooded over but the northern sides defences are easily visible. Within the northern side of the site is Chisbury manor and farm and on the western end is the 13th century Chisbury chapel, which has a nice reproduction of a 16th century map of the site on the wall inside.

Fosbury camp is the site of an Iron Age bivallate hill fort. It Would have commanded great views in all directions but is now heavily wooded on the northern side. It is still an impressive looking site and the picture does not do it justice.
Bevisbury was an Iron Age plateau fort on Hampshire’s border with Wiltshire. This site is now greatly mutilated and overgrown. The southern ramparts are the best preserved. There are several pits that have been cut in to the site which were probably quarries, and a private house within the north east corner.
Ashleys copse is the earthwork remains of an Iron Age hillfort .The Hampshire Wiltshire border runs right through the middle of this site. The site is half wooded where you find the best preserved earthworks, but you can still see some of the earthworks on the eastern spur of the hill. Not an easy site to get to so pictures taken from footpath to the east of the site.
