Old Oswestry Hill Fort (aka. The Earthworks/Caer Ogyrfan) as viewed from above, demonstrating the complex ramparts. It is said to be one of the finest examples of Iron Age hill fort still remaining. Its small size meant that the defenses were required to be more elaborate. Construction began circa 600 BC.
