Northern side of the hillfort on Hod Hill
Looking along the northern side of the iron age hillfort, with the inner rampart on the left, the ditch in the middle and the outer rampart on the right (with the dog standing on it). The Roman second legion captured the hillfort in AD43 and built a smaller camp within the hillfort's northwest corner (the highest part of the hill, seen in the distance on the left).
