Uffington Castle is an early Iron Age (with underlying Bronze Age) univallate hillfort in Oxfordshire, England. It covers about 32,000 square metres and is surrounded by two earth banks separated by a ditch with an entrance in the western end. A second entrance in the eastern end was apparently blocked up a few centuries after it was built.The original defensive ditch was V-shaped with a small box rampart in front and a larger one behind it. Timber posts stood on the ramparts. Later the ditch was deepened and the extra material dumped on top of the ramparts to increase their size. A parapet wall of sarsen stones lined the top of the innermost rampart. It is very close to the Uffington White Horse on White Horse Hill.

  • Uffington Castle ist eine Wallburg in Oxfordshire. Sie umfasst etwa 3 ha Fläche. Der historische Eingang befindet sich an der Ostseite. Ein weiterer, später verschlossener Eingang lässt sich noch an der Westseite nachweisen. Von der Anlage aus kann man The Ridgeway überschauen. Etwa dreihundert Meter nordöstlich befindet sich das Uffington White Horse. Die Anlage wird der frühen Eisenzeit zugeordnet. Funde aus Ausgrabungen lassen auf eine Errichtung im Zeitraum von 800 bis 700 vor unserer Zeitrechnung schließen. (de)

  • El castillo de Uffington es un castro univallado de la Edad del Hierro (con la Edad del Bronce subyacente) en Oxfordshire, Inglaterra. Tiene una superficie de unos 32.000 metros cuadrados y está rodeada por dos taludes de tierra separados por un foso con entrada en el extremo occidental. Aparentemente, una segunda entrada en el extremo este​ fue bloqueada unos siglos después de su construcción.​ La zanja defensiva original tenía forma de V con una pequeña muralla en forma de caja al frente y una más grande detrás. Había postes de madera en las murallas. Más tarde se profundizó la zanja y se arrojó el material sobrante sobre las murallas para aumentar su tamaño. Un parapeto de piedras de sarsen se alineaba en la parte superior de la muralla más interior. Está muy cerca del caballo blanco de (es)
