Hillfort in Somerset

An Iron Age defended settlement with an additional cross-ridge defence on the uphill west side, situated on the tip of a spur. It survives as a good and well-preserved example of its class, with an associated cross-ridge work which is a feature of several broadly contemporary monuments in the region. [source]

Not to be confused with Berry Castle (Exmoor).
