Large univallate hillfort with a bowl barrow and pillow mounds 970m west of The Bungalow is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Somerset. The site comprises a single-vallate defensive circuit typical of Iron Age hillforts of the region, supplemented by later medieval agricultural features in the form of pillow mounds, indicating continued land use into the post-Conquest period. The presence of a bowl barrow within the hillfort's bounds suggests Bronze Age activity predating or contemporary with the fort's primary occupation. The monument demonstrates the layered archaeological record common to Somerset's upland areas, where Iron Age defensive works frequently overlie or coexist with earlier funerary and ceremonial monuments.
