Overview

History & significance

Pyon Wood Camp is a small multivallate hillfort situated approximately 700 metres west-south-west of Yatton in Herefordshire. The site is defined by multiple defensive earthwork banks and ditches characteristic of Iron Age fortifications, though the precise dating of its construction and occupation remains to be conclusively established through archaeological investigation. The monument represents the type of enclosed settlement typical of the later prehistoric period in the Welsh Marches, serving functions that may have encompassed defence, stock control, and territorial assertion.
