The eastern gateway

Approaching the Hollingbury hill fort from the east means climbing a steep hill. In the Iron Age, this would no doubt have been cleared of the bushes and trees which are there now and an attacker would have been presented with a view of an impressive gateway. The posts on top of the rampart are actually concrete-filled steel pipes marking some of the original post holes.
