A short walk at Danebury Ring Hillfort this morning. (location near Stockbridge Hampshire.) An Iron age hill with evidence suggesting that the Fort was built 2500 years ago and occupied for nearly 500 years until the arrival of the Romans in Britain.
Today a plateau at the top of the hill remains it was once the site of a settlement that was surrounded by ditches and earth banks. The bank had a wooded defensive fence on its top.
The chalk hillside habitat needs to be managed to prevent it from being swamped by shrub. Here at Danebury Highland Cattle maintain the grassland.
Highland Cattle may look fierce but they are a gentle breed.
A Kestral hunting.
Continued Reflections from my World. 
Wow, the horns on the cattle do make them look fierce. Glad they are not. A very interesting place with a history lesson included.

We have lots of historic sites in the north of Hampshire and on into Wiltshire. Hopefully, it will safe to venture to some of this later in the year.
