Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox ancient site Berry Ring (also known as Bury Ring) is an Iron Age hillfort in Staffordshire, England, lying some two miles southwest of the county town of Stafford, a mile to the southwest of Stafford Castle and half a mile to the west of the M6 motorway.
Description
It is a univallate hillfort, roughly oval in shape, on the northern part of elevated land north of the village of Billington. The defences, following the contours of the ground, enclose an area of about Шаблон:Convert.[1]
The rampart is about Шаблон:Convert high in the south-east, elsewhere about Шаблон:Convert high. The outer ditch is up to Шаблон:Convert wide and Шаблон:Convert deep. A counterscarp bank can be seen in the north, west and south, most clearly in the north-west where it is Шаблон:Convert high and Шаблон:Convert wide. The original entrance is thought to be in the south; its features are unclear because of sand and gravel extraction in recent times. There are other later entrances.[1]
There is a spring-fed pond within the fort at the north-east side. There have been chance finds around the interior of flints, Iron Age pottery and medieval pottery.[1]
