Abstract
As part of the SERF hillfort programme an excavation was carried out on Ogle Hill between 28th March and 18th April 2015. A long trench exposed the ramparts, showing the outer bank to have been a dump rampart. An outer ditch provided the material for the earthen core, which was supported by a timber palisade. Stone was incorporated in the upper layers and outer face, but no in situ facing survived. The middle bank was also a dump rampart, but in this case, bedrock cut pits were quarried and chipped stone and earth formed the core of this bank. The upper rampart survived only as a low stony bank, cutting an earlier charcoal and ash rich feature. A second trench explored a strong magnetic anomaly identified on the gradiometry survey, which turned out to be the remains of a Victorian summerhouse. The remains of the summerhouse consisted of a stone platform in which frequent nails were recovered, suggesting the walls and roof would have been timber.
