Creech Hill, Iron Age hillfort in Milton Clevedon, England
The northern end of Creech Hill contains defensive structures with an outer ditch measuring 7.5 meters wide and remnants of ancient earthwork fortifications.
The hill fort emerged during the transition between Late Bronze and Early Iron Age periods, marking the beginning of the first millennium BC in Somerset.
Archaeological studies at Creech Hill reveal evidence of Neolithic and Bronze Age flint working, indicating long-term settlement patterns in southeastern Somerset.
Visitors access the scheduled monument through walking paths near Milton Clevedon village, with the site offering views across the Somerset countryside.
The discovery of two crossed bodies during 1880s quarrying operations led to reports of unexplained footsteps and dark shapes on the hill.
