History & significance

Wasteberry Camp is an Iron Age hillfort situated approximately 800 metres north-west of Lyneham House in Devon. The site demonstrates multiple phases of use across different periods, including medieval conversion to a deer park and later post-medieval employment as a warren, reflecting the changing management and exploitation of the landscape. The monument retains physical evidence of its Iron Age defensive earthworks, whilst the subsequent medieval and early modern modifications have left their own archaeological and topographical imprint upon the site. As a multi-period monument, Wasteberry Camp provides important evidence for patterns of land use and settlement in Devon from the Iron Age through the early modern period.
