Chiselbury

Chiselbury is the site of an Iron Age univallate hillfort in Wiltshire, England [1]. The hillfort is sub-circular in plan, and encloses an area of approximately 10.5 acres [1]. It is defined by an earthen rampart up to 3.6 metres in height and an external ditch, up to a maximum of 1.6 metres in depth [1]. Limited archaeological investigation of the interior of the hillfort in the early 20th century failed to find any direct traces of occupation [1]. However, outside of the fort some Iron Age pottery and a lead spindle whorl were found [1]. The hillfort is abutted on both its northern and southern sides by embanked ditches or cross dykes [1].
