Hillforts of England and Wales on LiDAR

Iron Age and later hillforts: hilltops and promontories enclosed by banks and ditches. Their ramparts survive as earthworks, so they are among the clearest monuments on a LiDAR terrain model, even under woodland. This list holds the 304 that are scheduled monuments with an article on Wikipedia; the map in the app shows every recorded site.
