The Manning documentary archive mentions Ilbury Camp.

The hillfort in the parish of Deddington is a pear-shaped contour fort enclosing about 6 acres. The eastern half is almost completely ploughed out. The west side is still well preserved, covered in trees and scrub.

Aerial photography places the entrance at the south east; the gaps at the west and south look like entrances, but are probably modern.

There was once a village at Ilbury, all that remains is the farm. Surface finds of Iron Age, Romano-British and Medieval pottery have been found in the past.
