Worlebury Camp, Iron Age hillfort in Weston-super-Mare, England
The fortification includes multiple defensive walls, ramparts, and ditches surrounding the hilltop site, rising 109 meters above sea level on Worlebury Hill.
Archaeological investigations have uncovered 93 storage pits carved into bedrock, containing human remains, coins, and artifacts dating back to the first century AD.
The fort represents the engineering capabilities of ancient British tribes, particularly the Goidel and Brython people who constructed this strategic settlement.
The site forms part of Weston Woods Local Nature Reserve, established in 2005, with walking paths providing access to the archaeological features.
Eighteen storage pits within the fort contained human skeletal remains, suggesting violent confrontations possibly related to Roman military campaigns.
