Grovely Castle

Grovely Castle is the site of an Iron Age univallate hill fort in the parish of Steeple Langford, in Wiltshire [1]. The remaining ramparts stand approximately 3.2 m high, with 1.5 m deep ditches, although ploughing has damaged the earthworks in some parts of the site [1]. Excavations have uncovered the remains of five human skeletons within the ramparts [1]. Entrances are in the south-west and north-east corners of the hillfort [1]. A circular enclosure of 35 to 40 m is evident in aerial photographs of the hillfort interior [1]. There is also a later bank and ditch which runs through the hill-fort from south-west to north-east, and is probably part of an extensive surrounding Celtic field system [1].
