Wain's Hill, Iron Age promontory fort in Clevedon, England
The hillfort structure includes two eastern ramparts and natural slopes on both the southern and northern sides, forming a defensive position.
During the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages, this fortification emerged as part of a broader pattern of defensive settlements across Britain.
Archaeological excavations at Wain's Hill reveal patterns of early British settlements and provide evidence of social organization during the Iron Age period.
Visitors can access the site throughout the year and walk along the preserved fortification structures while observing views of the Severn Estuary.
The strategic position of the fort demonstrates how Iron Age communities utilized natural topography for protection, with slopes reaching towards the water.
