hillfort, scheduled ancient monument, iron age
This is a sea cliff hill fort located west of Watchet. The ramparts form a semi-circle however most of these have been subject to nature and modern man's intrusion.
The fort may be of Iron Age origin, but was (re)built as a fortified 'burh' by King Alfred, around 878 AD.
This site is a scheduled ancient monument
