Hill fort with disputed battle history: Arbury Banks in Hertfordshire

Arbury Banks, located southwest of Ashwell, Hertfordshire, is an ancient hill fort. Its history is marked by a controversial connection to the Battle of Watling Street. Arbury Banks is thought to have been constructed during the Late Bronze Age, around 1000-700 BC. Its elevation of 90 m (300 ft) above sea level makes it one of a line of six similar hill forts along the northern Chilterns, including Wilbury Hill Camp southwest of Letchworth.

Excavations in the 1850s traced Arbury Banks' horseshoe-shaped ramparts and identified two opposed north-north-west and south-south-east entrances. Inside, several enclosures or buildings were found. However, the Wikipedia article for Arbury Banks does not mention the Battle of Watling Street, and the suggested connection is likely a result of local legend or speculation.
