More about this scene
Now a tree-clad hilltop fort, this is another example of the many forts built by the Iron Age people. To date it has never been excavated. It stands at the junction of two Roman roads, the Ackling Dyke running from Dorchester to Old Sarum, and the Bath to Poole road, although there is still doubt that the latter was ever completed. Legend suggests that this may have been the site of King Arthur's battle at Mount Badon where he killed 960 people in a single day!
