Grabbist Hillfort

Also known as: Grabbist Hill, Hillfort on Grabbist Hill, 275m south west of St Leonard's Well

Grabbist Hillfort is an Iron Age oval hillfort or defended enclosure, west of Dunster in Somerset [1]. The site is 885.8 feet (270.0 m) long and 219.8 feet (67.0 m) wide, and is surrounded by a counterscarp, which measures 4.2 to 6.2 feet (1.3 to 1.9 m) in height [1]. It is also surrounded by a ditch, which ranges up to 32.8 feet (10.0 m) wide and 7.2 feet (2.2 m) deep [1]. Ploughing over the years has damaged or erased some of the original features including a possible inner rampart [1]. The site is designated as a scheduled monument [1].
