Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Juniper bushes on the south-facing rampart of Old Winchester Hill. As with much of the South Downs chalkland, the southern side of Old Winchester Hill has a much more gentle gradient than the northern side. The iron-age hillfort has a single bank(left), ditch (centre) and counterscarp bank (right) which would have been much steeper/deeper/whiter when first constructed. Now the top of the hill is part of a National Nature Reserve. The bushes on the left are juniper, a slow growing shrub. These specimens are not too old - perhaps they were able to grow to a reasonable size on this grassland as a result of the reduced grazing pressure during the myxomatosis outbreaks in the mid 20th century. |
