Bredon Hill is a hill located in Worcestershire, England, south-west of Evesham in the Vale of Evesham [1]. At the summit of the hill, there are the remains of earthworks from an Iron Age hill fort known as Kemerton Camp, which is believed to have been abandoned in the 1st century A.D. after a considerable battle [1]. There are also Roman earthworks and a number of ancient standing stones on the hill [1]. One large stone at the summit is called the Banbury Stone, deriving from 'Baenintesburg', a name for the fort in the 8th century [1]. Another pair of stones below the summit are known as the King and Queen Stones [1].
