Caesar's Camp is an Iron Age hill fort around 2,400 years old [1]. It is located just in Crowthorne civil parish to the south of Bracknell in the English county of Berkshire [1]. The hill fort covers an area of about 17.2 acres (7 hectares) and is surrounded by a mile-long ditch, making it one of the largest in southern England [1]. Caesar's Camp is thought to have been established around 500–300BC [1]. It is the only hill fort of its type that has been identified in east Berkshire [1]. The layout consists of a number of steep banks and ditches in the shape of an oak leaf, enclosing a large flat area of a settlement [1]. The main entrance is at its northern end (at the tip of the leaf) and is very well defended with multiple banks and a sinuous entrance road [1].
