Ringsbury Camp

Ringsbury Camp is an Iron Age hill fort, thought to date from approximately the year 50BC, in the civil parish of Purton in Wiltshire, England.

[1] The fort stands on the brow of an outcrop of Corallian stone,[1] overlooking Braydon Forest to the west and with excellent views to the south and north; there is less of an incline towards the east.

He bases his case on geographical and toponymic evidence, with nearby Braydon being the Badon named by Gildas and the Welsh Annals.

Ringsbury Camp can be reached most easily by walking west through fields from Battlewell and Restrop Road in Purton.

Some local people refer to Ringsbury as 'The Roman Camp', although this does not reflect its earlier Iron Age heritage.
