MenuStonea Camp, Cambridgeshire
Stonea Camp is an Iron Age multivallate hillfort located at Stonea in the fenlands of Cambridgeshire. It is the lowest hillfort in Great Britain, being only seven feet above sea level, though around 500 BC, when fortification is thought to have begun, this "hill" would have provided a significant area of habitable land amidst the flooded marshes of the fens. The fort is a possible site of the battle of AD 47 mentioned by Tacitus, between the Iceni tribe and a Roman auxiliary force under governor Ostorius Scapula. It is within the council area of Fenland (Cambridgeshire).
