Long Wood Enclosure

Carhampton, GB

Long Wood Enclosure is an enclosure which may have been a univallate Iron Age hill fort in the county of Somerset, England. The hill fort is approximately 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) southwest of the village of Dunster. It has been scheduled as an ancient monument. The enclosure is approximately 40 metr

es (130 ft) in diameter and covers around 0.15 hectares (0.37 acres). It is surrounded by a bank and ditches about 6.5 metres (21 ft) wide and 1.9 metres (6 ft 3 in) high. The original entrance will likely be a break in the bank opposite a causeway on the uphill southwesterly side. The hill fort has been damaged in recent years due to forestry plantation.
