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".
