Wimble Toot is a burial mound or, possibly, a motte built near the village of Babcary, Somerset [1]. It is a scheduled ancient monument with a list entry number of 1015279 [1]. Today the site forms a circular earthwork, 27.47 metres across and 2.74 metres high, with a ditch on the north-west and south-east sides, on the top of a ridge, overlooking a brook which runs into the River Cary and the old Roman road of the Fosse Way [1]. In Roman times, Wimble Toot was situated at a crossroads [1].
