Charterhouse Camp

Also known as: Camp 600yds (548m) E of Charterhouse

Charterhouse Camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort in the Mendip district of Somerset [1]. The hillfort is situated approximately 0.6 miles east from the village of Charterhouse [1]. There is some evidence, in the form of burials in local caves, of human occupation since the late Neolithic times and the early Bronze Age [1]. The site is associated with Charterhouse Roman Town and may have been the site of Iscalis [1]. The site is a scheduled monument [1].
