I have walked the circular route at the top of Boddington Hill on countless occasions, being an easy 3/4 mile flat route after the hills of Wendover Woods. Boddington Hill rises in a horseshoe shape above Wendover so it is no wonder it was the site of a Hill Fort. Apparently it was in use between 600 and 400BC.
The two photographs show the remains of the excavations that formed the protective bank and ditch of the fort that run all around the top of the hill. This year the Chiltern Society Conservation Group have been clearing the bank where it has overgrown in order to better show off it's features.
