‘GROUP (52): Thomas's Hill (Hilton). 'Celtic' fields are recognisable over approximately 5 acres on the tip of Thomas's Hill, between 792027, 795027 and 794030. The subsoil is Chalk and there is much surface flint. The remains, mostly much altered, survive on the fringes of strip cultivation (Hilton (29), (a)) which has probably destroyed others. Later ploughing and tree planting have added to the destruction.
