Gog Magog Hills

The Gog Magog Hills, a range of low chalk hills southeast of Cambridge, contain a rich archaeological landscape spanning millennia. Little Trees Hill preserves a Neolithic causewayed enclosure approximately 265 m in diameter with a 4 m deep segmented ditch, and a Bronze Age bowl barrow at its summit. The Iron Age hillfort of Wandlebury Ring, inhabited by the Iceni around 2,300 years ago, features concentric ditches and earthen ramparts. Named after the giant Gogmagog from Geoffrey of Monmouth's 12th-century chronicles, the hills have yielded Neolithic flint arrowheads and extensive lithic debris.
