Flower's Barrow

Flower's Barrow is an Iron Age hillfort, built over 2,500 years ago on Rings Hill, above Worbarrow Bay in Dorset on the south coast of England [1]. It is located about 11 miles (18 km) west of Swanage and about 6.25 miles (10 km) southwest of Wareham [1]. The ancient hillfort of Flower's Barrow rises behind the beach at Arish Mell [1]. Flower's Barrow has a limited future because the southern part is falling into the sea at Worbarrow Bay due to coastal erosion [1]. Several sections of the interior of the hillfort have been exposed following coastal erosion [1]. Hut circles are visible within the interior of the fort [1]. During a minor excavation in 1939, fragments of Iron Age pottery, as well as sling-stones and bones, were found in a pit near the western entrance [1].
