Badbury Rings, Dorset. Difficult to photograph from ground level. This Iron Age hillfort remains as a series of concentric circles of banks & ditches. Site first occupied 6000 yrs ago. Major building phases later (innermost ring around 2500 yrs old) #badburyrings #hillfort #ironage

Hillfort exploring at Badbury Rings in Dorset. The site was first settled around 6000 years ago, with the Iron Age hillfort constructed in two main phases. A Roman era temple was also constructed on the site, demonstrating its local importance #badburyrings #hillfort #ironage

@NTKingstonLacy played #Hornbeam as the outer replacement avenue for aged #Beech along #BadburyRings twenty years ago, not because of soil but anticipating #ClimateChange

A late entry for #HillfortsWednesday is my local, the lovely #BadburyRings as the sun sets on April 2025...

" and also the exact bearings of the several distant objects. Hodd Rings, a sort of similar entrenchment, at ten miles distance; and Hambeledon Hills, nearly as far off: and Spilsbury Rings, at four miles distance."
