Dinedor Camp

Dinedor Camp is an Iron Age hillfort, about 1 kilometre west of the village of Dinedor and about 3 kilometres south of Hereford in England [1]. The fort is on a spur of Dinedor Hill; it overlooks to the east the River Wye at the confluence with the River Lugg [1]. It is about 337 metres long and 160 metres wide, enclosing an area of about 3.8 hectares [1]. There is an out-turned entrance at the east [1]. There is a steep natural slope on the south side, and a single rampart, about 3 metres high, around the rest of the fort, rising to about 8 metres in the north-east [1]. There was some excavation in 1951 at the north-east of the fort, a trench being cut from the edge of the rampart for about 35 metres towards the centre of the camp [1]. Sherds of Iron Age and Roman pottery, part of an iron axehead and other iron fragments were found [1].
