Bindon Hill, Iron Age earthwork in West Lulworth, England
The main defensive rampart and external ditch of Bindon Hill extend over 2 kilometers along an east-west ridge parallel to the English Channel coastline.
Medieval records from the 13th century Calendar of Charter Rolls mention the defensive structure on Bindon Hill as the significant boundary called the dike of Julius Caesar.
Archaeological excavations at Bindon Hill have uncovered evidence of ancient farming practices and animal domestication within its 110-hectare enclosed pasture area.
Visitors can access Bindon Hill through designated footpaths from West Lulworth village or by following the South West Coast Path from Lulworth Cove.
The eastern section of Bindon Hill remains under military control as part of the Armoured Fighting Vehicles Gunnery School, with limited public access during specific periods.
