Facts and practical information

Danebury is an Iron Age hill fort in Hampshire, England, about 19 kilometres north-west of Winchester. The site, covering 5 hectares, was excavated by Barry Cunliffe in the 1970s. Danebury is considered a type-site for hill forts, and was important in developing the understanding of hill forts, as very few others have been so intensively excavated. ()
