I visited this site yesterday (18/2/05). I was interested in the winding trackway that weaves itself down the hill slope and across the Down. It may originate from the hillfort and seems to end in the direction of the road to Stockbridge. I have seen medieval trackways in Wiltshire that look like these. Some go back even further into the Iron Age and continued in use into the post medieval time. This one peters out in a clump of gorse bushes about 100 yards away from the road! The trackways in Wiltshire run from a road in a valley bottom and continue over a ridge and down the other side. Looking at an aerial map of Woolbury I notice similar soil marks within the hillfort itself. Perhaps the trackway is similar here?
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
