Caesar's Camp
DTM- (Digital Terrain Model, i.e. No buildings or foliage) Just south of the B3430 at the south side of Bracknell on the high ground at Bracknell Forest lies the 'Oak Leaf' plan, vast univallate contour hillfort, Caesar's Camp. I found this by accident while looking for a site to visit in that neck of the woods (no pun). This has got to be my favourite looking site I've rendered so far. Redoubt possible construction in 1792. 19th century gamekeeper's cottage. Former gravel pits. 1950's conifer plantation until 1994. Finds include late neolithic/early bronze age flints from in-situ pits. Cunobelin coin (King 9-40AD), whose name means 'Strong (as a) Dog' recovered by Stukeley in 1724. Iron Age saucepan pot sherds (St Catherine's Hill, Worthy Down type) & Neolithic Hammer Stone. Sherd of Haematite ware. First written reference 1665 Aubrey's Monumenta Britannica. Geophys in 1995 (20% coverage). 18 test pits excavated. Iron Age tribal association (conjecture based on location): Catuvellauni or Atrebates (Scheduled Monument) [Any descriptive text attributed to the Atlas of Hillforts & Historic England websites]
