Tedbury Camp, Somerset

Tedbury Camp is a large Iron Age multivallate hillfort near Great Elm, Somerset. It is situated on a prominent limestone ridge overlooking the valleys of the Mells Stream and Fordbury Water. The hillfort survives as a roughly rectangular enclosure covering an area of about 65 acres. The enclosed area is defined by two concentric ramparts which survive differentially. The inner bank is largely complete and stands up to 13ft high and in places there are traces of a drystone revetment. The site is within the council area of Somerset.
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1006163.
