British Camp - Situation

Situation

The British Camp is composed of extensive earthworks that have been compared to a giant wedding cake. Midsummer Hillfort is a mile south of the British Camp. There are a number of generally round hut platforms on the British Camp, which may well suggest a permanent occupation. However it is unusual to have two major hillforts within such a short distance.

The diarist John Evelyn (1620–1706) remarked that the view from the hill was "one of the godliest vistas in England".

Famous quotes containing the word situation:

    Greater than scene ... is situation. Greater than situation is implication. Greater than all of these is a single, entire human being, who will never be confined in any frame.
    Eudora Welty (b. 1909)

    To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    One must either take an interest in the human situation or else parade before the void.
    Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
