What is recorded here
Old Winchester Hill Iron Age Fort is a fort in Winchester, England. Perhaps people climbed the oval ridge to watch valleys below while barrows marked the dead beneath the grass. Maybe children ran between field systems until adults called them home for supper. Imagine the earthwork enclosure standing complete, its lines sharp against the sky before centuries softened them into a hill.
