 Leicester Chronicler - Origins of Leicester
Standing above this landscape are four prominent hills, Bardon (the highest point in Leicestershire at just over 900 feet), Breedon on the Derbyshire border, Beacon to the east, and Burrough in the west.
Burrough is one of the best-preserved iron age forts in the country, and there is general agreement that there was another iron age hill fort at the summit of Bardon Hill.
Unlike earlier settlers in these islands, the Belgae did not occupy hill forts, but lived in lowland settlements, usually beside streams, and in locations overlooked by hills, frequently surrounded, or even hidden, by areas of forest, and generally occupying a larger land area than that of hill forts.
