| Information | |
Bevisbury is the site of a former Iron Age plateau fort in Hampshire, built in a single bank and ditch construction.[1]
The site is now largely destroyed and overgrown and the southern ramparts are the best preserved. There are several pits that have been cut into and around the site which were probably quarries, and a private house lies within the north-east corner.[2]
Location
The site lies to the east of the village of Chute, in Wiltshire, within the civil parish of Tangley in the county of Hampshire. The site is intersected by a Roman Road, now Hungerford Lane, which travels broadly north-west to south-east, and runs between Winchester and Mildenhall (near Marlborough). To the east lies the area of Well Bottom and Forty Acre Wood, to the southwest is Cathanger Wood. The site lies at a height of 722 feet above sea level.
