Maes Knoll Camp, Iron Age partial contour fort in Norton Malreward, England
The Maes Knoll Camp extends across 22 acres of land, featuring defensive ramparts and a triangular flat area measuring 390 by 84 feet.
Celtic tribe Dobuni constructed this defensive structure around 250 BC, incorporating steep-sided fortifications and a surrounding ditch for protection.
Local tales connect the site to Sir John Hautville, a medieval knight known for feats of strength and believed to have influenced the landscape.
The fort stands at 197 meters above sea level, offering clear views of Bristol, Bath, and the Cotswold Hills from its elevated position.
During World War II, Home Guard members used a small hut at Maes Knoll as an observation point to monitor enemy aircraft over Bristol.
