Bindon Hill on the Dorset coast near Lulworth Cove is a promontory fort of great natural strength using the cliff edges as defences. Its capture secured Purbeck marble and shale resources that the Romans would subsequently exploit extensively for furniture, jewellery, and architectural elements. Kimmeridge shale products were traded across Roman Britain.
