Around the south of Bury Hill
The ramparts of the hillfort turn towards the River Frome. The site is on a plateau above the river and uses some of the steep rock faces as defence. This side is rather more flat.

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.

A gap in the earthworks
This is Bury Hill fort's entrance from the east. The site seems to have been used in two or three main eras: excavations have produced materials from the palaeolithic, indicating the earliest occupation; later finds include Iron Age and late Roman.

The ramparts along Up Yonder!
Bury Hill fort is flanked on the east by a lane to Up Yonder. The fort appears to have two sets of ramparts and ditches, the outer slightly higher than the inner; this has led to speculation that the fort was originally Iron Age and smaller, but later Roman era additions were made.
