Iron age camp on the Park Hill ridge, west of Six Wells Bottom (source of the River Stour). The earthworks lie within Stourhead Park, managed by the National Trust, and can be reached along footpaths. There is a National Trust 'interpretation board' at the modern south-east entrance to the fort, basically saying that the site has not been excavated so the best guess is that it was a hillfort.
