This is a view looking north

Trendle Ring
Date Added: 29th Apr 2022
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Saw from a distance on 26th Apr 2022
Trendle Ring submitted by mattimpey on 15th Sep 2008. Hopefully you can just make out the single bank and ditch of what I think is Trendle Ring on a ridge of a Quantock hillside.
It is a single ditch and rampart enclosure about 130m above sea level.
The bracken was to thick to hike across in September so I hope to visit again in the winter when it has all died down or I find someone who knows where the path to it is.
