Eggardon Hill is a massive multivallate hillfort in west Dorset commanding wide views over the Bride valley and coast. Its position made it a key defensive node in the Durotrigan network. The fort was likely one of the twenty oppida recorded by Suetonius as captured by Vespasian. Earthwork evidence shows extensive pre-Roman occupation.
