Ravensburgh Castle

Hillfort

T

the fear Jan 24, 2003

Extremely difficult to visit, although setting is very attractive as it sits on a very obvious glacial limit (can’t remember which glaciation). Not much to see as the site consists of a very large enclosure and is obscured by encroaching forest. Many “private keep out” signs etc. Contents of car were robbed whilst visiting.

Ravensburgh Castle lies on the county boundary. It’s supposed to be the largest Iron Age hillfort in the east of England. It was built around 400bce with timber defences in addition to the banks/ditches.
