Solsbury Hill

Little Solsbury Hill is an Iron Age hillfort above Batheaston in Somerset, England, occupied from approximately 300 to 100 BC. The triangular hilltop was enclosed by a univallate rampart with dry stone walls reaching 12 feet high, within which substantial timber-framed wattle-and-daub huts were built on cleared bedrock. Excavations in 1955-1958 revealed pottery, arrowheads, and evidence of iron working. The settlement ended violently when huts were burned, ramparts overthrown, and the site permanently abandoned, likely during the Belgic invasion of Britain.
