Charterhouse Camp

Charterhouse Camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort in the Mendip district of Somerset, England, situated approximately 0.6 miles (0.97 km) east of the village of Charterhouse[1]. Evidence of human occupation dates back to the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age, based on burials found in local caves[1]. The site is closely associated with Charterhouse Roman Town and may have been the location of the Roman settlement Iscalis[1]. It is a scheduled monument[1].
