Thanks for the excellent reply to my query about the stones at Ashdown House. I'll have to pay them a visit when I'm next in the area. I was unaware that the famous sarsen fields of the Marlborough Downs extended so far to the north-east. It makes me wonder why there are not more megalithic structures in the vicinity.
Coming back to Rams Hill, you don't appear to agree with me that it should be classified as an enclosure. Causewayed camps *are* enclosures. I regard 'sacred hill' as a speculative term, and one which I definitely would not apply to [[Rams Hill]], especially with [[Dragon Hill]] nearby. Having said that, I looked up the entry for Dragon Hill and found that it's described as an 'artificial mound', which surprises me, as it's thought to be, largely, natural. I was expecting that one to be classified as a sacred hill!
