Overview

History & significance

Cherry Hill Camp is a Late Iron Age hillfort located near Fownhope in Herefordshire. The site is defined by a single rampart with an external ditch, enclosing an area of approximately two hectares on the summit of Cherry Hill. Archaeological evidence and its structural characteristics place it within the period of the later Iron Age, when such defended settlements were a characteristic feature of the British landscape. The hillfort commands significant views across the surrounding countryside and represents an important example of fortified settlement strategy in the Welsh borderland region during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
