Blacker's Hill

Blacker's Hill is an Iron Age hill fort at Chilcompton, 4.5 kilometres south west of Radstock, Somerset [1]. The hill fort is roughly rectangular and is a promentary type [1]. In some places the ramparts survive to a considerable height but on the north east side the inner rampart and ditch have been destroyed [1]. There are three gaps but only that on the east seems to be original [1]. In 1999 a geophysical survey was carried out suggesting that Blackers Hill originated as a univallate structure and was then later modified, forming a developed hill fort [1].
