Flower's Barrow, Iron Age hillfort in Dorset, England
The defensive structure extends along the cliff edge with multiple ramparts and ditches forming concentric rings around the central settlement area.
Built over 2500 years ago, this fortification was later occupied by Romans who modified the site and constructed additional defensive elements in the first century.
Archaeological excavations in 1939 uncovered numerous artifacts including Iron Age pottery, sling stones, and bone fragments near the western entrance.
Access to Flower's Barrow requires a 30-minute walk from Tyneham Village and is only permitted when the Lulworth Military Range is open to visitors.
Coastal erosion at Worbarrow Bay continues to claim sections of the southern part, with approximately half of the original fortification already lost to the sea.
