Tedbury Camp

Tedbury Camp is a multivallate Iron Age promontory hill fort defended by two parallel banks near Great Elm, Somerset, England.

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".

[6] It is also a site of Roman occupation between 337 and 366 which left behind a hoard of Constantine Junior coins which were found in 1691.

[6] A quarry 500 metres (1,600 ft) north east of the camp actively extracted Carboniferous limestone in the 20th century and shows a geological angular unconformity.
