Cleeve Toot Camp, Iron Age hillfort in Cleeve, Somerset.
Cleeve Toot Camp is an Iron Age hillfort in Cleeve, Somerset, surrounded by a stone rampart and a broad outer ditch. The oval-shaped settlement was once a fortified dwelling place with multiple houses built within its defensive walls.
The site was established in the Iron Age as a fortified settlement and was later abandoned after a period of occupation. Archaeological excavations uncovered evidence of dwellings dating to the first millennium BC.
The hillfort served as a settlement connected to Cadbury Hill, reflecting the social organization patterns of Iron Age communities in Somerset.
The site is freely accessible to visitors and information about the archaeological finds is available on-site. The best way to understand the layout is to walk around the ramparts to see how the defenses were arranged.
A smaller settlement lies about 150 meters north of the main enclosure and suggests a hierarchical organization of the communities that lived here. This pattern shows the region was more complex than a single isolated fort.
