Clatworthy Camp

Clatworthy Camp is an Iron Age hill fort 3 miles (4.8 km) North West of Wiveliscombe, Somerset, England.

[1] Due to the vulnerability to scrub and tree growth it has been added to the Heritage at Risk Register.

[3] In 2014 and 2015 Wessex Water undertook tree clearance and the removal of bracken from the site without disturbing badger setts and potential bat roosts.

[6] Hill forts developed in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age, roughly the start of the first millennium BC.

They would be functional as defensive strongholds when there were tensions and undoubtedly some of them were attacked and destroyed, but this was not the only, or even the most significant, factor in their construction".
