Welshbury Hill
Welshbury Hill is an Iron Age hill fort near Mitcheldean in Gloucestershire, England.[1][2] It is thought to have been built by Celts and dates back to 1600 BC.[3]
Welshbury Hill Fort is reputed to be the place where the Celtic Dobunni tribe staged its last battle against the Romans after a long-running guerrilla war.[3]
There is an ancient spring water well nearby known locally as St Anthony's Well.[4]
