From the Wikipedia article
Oram's Arbour was an enclosed settlement (oppidum) during the Iron Age, in what is now Winchester, England. Limited dating evidence suggests the enclosure was dug in the early-mid first century BC. The town wall of the Roman civitas capital of Venta Belgarum which succeeded the Iron Age settlement cut across its eastern end. Today it is a small grassy park in Winchester, and was formerly used for the annual Winchester Hat Fair both as a picnic site and to stage outdoor theatre and acrobatics.
