From this vantage point you get a good idea of the scale of the three ramparts which formed the fortifications of the hill. The steep banks and ditches would have made it a formidable defensive fort.

Hambledon Hill is a prehistoric hill fort in Dorset, England, in the Blackmore Vale five miles northwest of Blandford Forum. The hill itself is a chalk outcrop, on the southwestern corner of Cranborne Chase, separated from the Dorset Downs by the River Stour. It is owned by the National Trust.

Hambledon Hill is the first in a series of Iron Age earthworks,] which continues with Hod Hill, Spetisbury Rings, Buzbury Rings, Badbury Rings and Dudsbury Camp. The Iron Age port at Hengistbury Head forms a final Iron Age monument in this small chain of sites.

The ramparts are a lot longer than you think, amazing fun getting around them all though.
