Ladle Hill Iron Age Fort - Added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in South East

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

Parking & TOAL: 51.312841, -1.295252

Ladle Hill includes an unfinished Early Iron Age hillfort, a disc barrow, a saucer barrow and sections of two linear earthworks of Bronze Age date situated on Ladle Hill.

The longer of the two earthworks runs along the western edge of Great Litchfield Down and is incorporated in the ditch of the hillfort which occupies the summit of the hill; the second earthwork runs on a north to south alignment c.30m to its east. The saucer barrow lies within the hillfort and the disc barrow is outside it, c.30m to the north. Another upstanding section of the longer earthwork lies c.1.1km further to the south west and is the subject of a separate scheduling.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 01/10/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
