Oldbury hillfort

Oldbury hillfort is a large Iron Age hill fort near the village of Ightham, Kent, England. It covers the top of a hill that would have provided commanding views over one of the main routes in and out of the Weald and covers an area of 50 ha. A natural spring within the fort would have provided water to the occupants making it a very attractive spot. The eastern side of the hill is very steep and so earthwork defences were constructed only on the other sides.
