By the eastern entrance of Bury Hill

The Iron Age fort occupies a plateau overlooking the Frome valley. Its history seems to indicate a couple of periods of use, one pre-Roman, the other Roman. This view south of the eastern entrance shows some ramparts, dusted by earlier snow, and the trees lining the tops.
