Chisbury Camp Hillfort - Added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in South West

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

Parking & TOAL from the side of the road.

Chisbury Camp Hillfort, with bivallate & trivallate defences. Storage pits containing Iron Age ā€˜Cā€™ & pre-Belgic pottery. Silver coin of Verica also a decorated strap union found by a metal detectorist.

The hillfort is multivallate, possessing two, and in some places three circuits of defences which in places are over 50m in overall width. These together enclose an irregular oval area of approximately 5.6ha. The hillfort is bisected by a modern road which utilising gaps in the north-east and south east sides of the defences which may represent the original entrances. Observation of 20th century disturbances has produced evidence of urns, bronze swords and of storage pits containing Late Iron Age pottery.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 23/07/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
