Burrington Camp, Iron Age hillfort in Burrington, England
The sub-rectangular enclosure features a prominent bank and ditch system, measuring 350 feet by 275 feet on Burrington Ham in North Somerset.
Archaeological studies from 1960 revealed the site consisted of a bank between two ditches, with construction occurring in two distinct phases during the Iron Age period.
The interpretation of Burrington Camp has evolved from early assumptions of Roman or Druid connections to recognition as an important Iron Age settlement structure.
The entrance to the fort is located in the northeast section where visitors can observe the northern bank's distinctive inward curve.
Recent research indicates the presence of parallel internal banks within the enclosure, suggesting potential functions beyond traditional defensive purposes.
