This is the hill top Iron Age Fort known as Oliver's Castle as shot from Roundway Down, Nr. Devizes, Wiltshire, England. The fort would have consisted of a wooden pallisade with fighting platforms around the inside. Evidence of a moat can still be seen. Sharpened wooden spikes would have been driven into the ground outside to slow the progress of invaders.
