Blewbury is a village and civil parish in Oxfordshire, England, situated at the foot of the Berkshire Downs on the North Wessex Downs[1]. The southern part of the parish encompasses chalk downland containing several prehistoric sites[1]. Blewburton Hill rises 110 metres (360 ft) above the landscape and is topped by an Iron Age hill fort dating to 500 BC–1 AD[1][2]. This hillfort occupies a low outlying protrusion of the Berkshire Downs, adjoining the village from which it takes its name[2].
