Dist:0.5km<br/>This ridge on the skyline, which stands some 280 feet above the valley of the river Pang, is six miles long and runs in an arc from Hermitage in the north, through here at Cold Ash, to Upper Bucklebury and finally to Chapel Row in the east. The geology of the ridge (referred to as a ‘plateau’) is mainly glacial sands, gravels and head with some clay in the north near Hermitage http://www.berksbap.org/bucklebury-plateau . Almost throughout its length the ridge is covered with the remnants of beautiful ancient woodland which includes the 900 acres of Bucklebury Common http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2469549

Dist:0.9km<br/>This is a view of the southern part of this 8 acre hillfort which once had a single defensive perimeter bank, but the ground (on plateau gravel) is now fully cultivated. The southern lip of the fort runs along the left edge of the picture, at which point the ground falls steeply away to the left. The site is located between the village of Cold Ash and Bucklebury Common. The nearest hillfort, Grimsbury Castle [[SU5172]] (the same size but heavily wooded), is some two miles away to the north near Hermitage.
