This Iron Age hillfort is situated on a prominent hill overlooking the Mendip Hills, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The fort's ramparts are still visible, with a deep ditch and high banks that would have made it a formidable stronghold. Archaeological excavations have revealed evidence of occupation from the 5th century BC to the 1st century AD, with finds including Iron Age pottery and Roman coins. The site is now a peaceful spot, perfect for a picnic or a walk, with wildflowers blooming in the summer and birdsong filling the air.
