British Camp - Situation

Situation

The British Camp is composed of extensive earthworks that have been compared to a giant wedding cake. Midsummer Hillfort is a mile south of the British Camp. There are a number of generally round hut platforms on the British Camp, which may well suggest a permanent occupation. However it is unusual to have two major hillforts within such a short distance.

The diarist John Evelyn (1620–1706) remarked that the view from the hill was "one of the godliest vistas in England".

Famous quotes containing the word situation:

    One must either take an interest in the human situation or else parade before the void.
    Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.
    Michel Foucault (1926–1984)

    There are situations in life to which the only satisfactory response is a physically violent one. If you don’t make that response, you continually relive the unresolved situation over and over in your life.
    Russell Hoban (b. 1925)
