Membury Hillfort - the ramparts A view of the ramparts that surround this 34 acre iron-age hillfort near its south entrance. It stands on clay with flints on a chalk subsoil which today is mostly cultivated alongside woodland 256790. Located just half a mile south-west of Membury Services on the M4 motorway, the hillfort is one of the most ancient sites in the region (the Berkshire-Wiltshire border bisects the fort). Roman-British pottery fragments were found here by excavations between 1977-87. But significant finds have also included flint artefacts from the mesolithic era (8000-4000 BC) which followed the last ice age, and flint tools from the neolithic era (4000-2000 BC) prior to the iron age. http://www.digitaldigging.co.uk/maps/wiltshire/hillforts/hillforts_ia_wiltshire_membury_hillfort.html.
