Hillfort in Somerset
This is a Univallate hillfort with a slightly inturned entrance. It's 225m above sea level high in the hills Southwest of Wiveliscombe. It's on private farmland and has no public access, although there is a public footpath (West Deane Way) that runs past it through the valley (roughly) 200 meters to the west.
