CHIDBURY, or Cidbury Hill, an eminence on the east border of Wilts; 3½ miles W of Ludgershall. It is crowned by an ancient camp; and commands a fine view. The camp is heart-shaped; occupies 17 acres; and is engirt by two ramparts and two ditches, the inner one 46 feet deep. A raised causeway, probably a Saxon road, goes from the chief entrance toward East Everley; banks and ditches diverge from other points; and Druidical tumuli and vestiges of ancient British villas are near.
