At 384 feet (117 m) high, Gussage Hill isn't particularly impressive in elevation but it certainly is when it comes to history. The hill is the site of an ancient settlement and several long barrows. All that remains are grassy mounds, harking to a civilisation that lived here well over a thousand years ago. You'll also find a trig point and sweeping views of farmland.
