Caesar's Camp, Bracknell Forest

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.

[2] Because the area had a thick bed of sandstone beneath the top layers of soil, it was likely not suitable for farming – the community at Caesar's Camp was therefore dependent on the produce of neighbouring settlements.

Caesar's Camp appears to have fallen under the rule of Cunobelin, king of the Catuvellauni tribe in the first century AD from a coin discovered in the interior.

The main Roman road connected Londinium with Calleva Atrebatum, the tribal capital of the Atrebates, about 10 miles to the west in Hampshire.

[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.

The camp falls within the Broadmoor to Bagshot Woods and Heaths Site of Special Scientific Interest, and forms part of the northern edge of the SSI.
