Bozedown Camp

The Iron Age hillfort of Bozedown now consists mainly of arable fields, some remnants of the earth rampart and ditch that surrounded the site can still be seen from the public footpath that runs along its northern boundary.

The area of the fort is more than 50 acres, suggesting its occupation by a large number of people and their animals and also perhaps its use for tribal gatherings and ceremonies.

Studies done by the Beacons of the Past project have included aerial surveys using LiDAR (a laser scanning technique) a large number of finds were discovered by a metal detectorist
investigating fields near the entrance to the Hardwick estate.
