Life in the UK Test 17
Which hill fort from the Iron Age can be seen in the county of Dorset?
Correct Answer: Maiden Castle
Maiden Castle in Dorset is one of the largest and most impressive Iron Age hill forts in Europe.
It dates back more than 2,000 years and covers an area of about 47 acres, with multiple defensive ramparts still visible today.
The other options — Conwy Castle, Caernarfon Castle, and Edinburgh Castle — are medieval castles, not Iron Age hill forts.
