From the Wikipedia article
Chisenbury Camp is the site of an Iron Age univallate hillfort in Broad Chalke parish in Wiltshire, England. The site comprises a small circular 5-acre enclosure that was levelled in 1931. The site was partially excavated in the 19th century and there were finds of ceramics, worked stone, worked animal bone and remains of human burial; some are held by the Wiltshire Museum at Devizes. It is a scheduled monument. The site currently lies within the bounds of a small grass strip airfield, the former RAF Upavon, and is run through by the perimeter access road on the southern side of the field.
