File Flagstaff HillFort..jpg thumb upright 3 SBML 68 pounder guns at Flagstaff HillFort Flagstaff HillFort , was a fort at Flagstaff Point, Wollongong, New South Wales , Australia . History Constructed between 1890 1891, the fort was built with a disappearing gun emplacement. The fort was dug out of the hill using face brick walls and then earth was placed over the tunnels. The fort was intended to supersede a battery of 68 pounder s to provide a deterrent to a possible Russian attack upon Wollongong Harbour . In 1879 the steamship Havilah landed these 4.6 tonne, 68 pounder cannon as part of Wollongong Harbour defences against the threat of possible Russian attack. The cannon were designed to fire a shell weighing almost 30 kg 68 pounds up to 1.60 km. They lay unused by the harbour for 18 months without mountings and ammunition. They were finally placed near this site by the local volunteer artillery group. Endeavour Drive now covers the original position. The gun was commissioned and first fired in 1892. The gun emplacement was provided with two range finder positions. However by the mid 1880 s it became obvious that enemy cruisers could bombard the port out of range of these obsolete guns. In 1890 a larger gun was positioned in a concrete pit near the summit of Flagstaff Hill. Underground rooms protected the ammunition and the gunners. By 1893 further fortifications were completed on Smiths HillFort Smith s Hill west of Harbour. The Wollongong Head Lighthouse was constructed near the fort in 1938.

Sutton Walls Hillfort is an elongated ovoid Iron Age Hillfort located four miles north of the city of Hereford, England . It has been quarried for gravel, leaving behind a quarry that was used as a dump for toxic waste during the 1960s and 70s. It was added to the Sites and Monuments Record in 1988. ref name SMR History The Sutton Walls hillfort dates back to the Iron Age , at which time it did not have any defences. As time went on, defences began to be added, and by 100BC, the fort had a V shaped ditch and an internal bank, which was revetted with timber and stone. Huts were then constructed later on. The defences were then strengthened around AD25, however archaeological digs have revealed that around AD 48, 24 people were killed in the fort probably by Roman Empire Romans and thrown into the ditch. The skeletons show the wounds received, and some were decapitated. This did not end occupation, however, and the fort remained in use until around the 3rd century. ref name SMR cite web url http www.smr.herefordshire.gov.uk hsmr db.php?smr no 912 title Sutton Walls hillfort publisher Historic Herefordshire online accessdate 2008 08 22 ref ref cite web url http www.roman britain.org places celtic sutton walls.htm title Sutton Walls publisher roman britain.org accessdate 2008 08 22 Dead link date October 2010 bot H3llBot ref External Links http www.herefordshire.gov.uk htt smrSearch Monuments Monument Item.aspx?ID 912 Sutton Walls Hillfort Monument Detail References reflist coord 52.113 2.694 type landmark display title Category Archaeology of the United Kingdom Category Hill forts in Herefordshire UK archaeology stub Herefordshire struct stub tr Sutton Walls Hereford ... more details
