Wittenham Clumps

Wittenham Clumps
Round Hill, Wittenham Clumps

Die Wittenham Clumps sind eine Gruppe von Hügeln bei der Ortschaft 'Little Wittenham' nordöstlich von Didcot in Oxfordshire.

Der Name bezeichnet im engeren Sinne zwei Hügel, den sogenannten 'Castle Hill' und den 'Round Hill' . Die Hügel erheben sich aus dem flachen Tal der Themse. Archäologische Grabungen haben gezeigt, dass auf dem 'Castle Hill' in der Bronzezeit eine Befestigung angelegt wurde, die in der Eisenzeit ausgebaut wurde.[1]

Paul Nash hat die heute als Aussichtspunkt beliebten Hügel mehrfach gemalt.
