Hembury Hillfort

Highlight • Historical Site

Perched high on a spur at the South-West tip of the Blackdown Hills, Hembury Fort is a Scheduled Monument (No. 29660) and survives in exceptionally good condition with a well-defined circuit of defences surrounding the entire monument. The site shows evidence of settlements dating back to the Neolithic period, used as an Iron Age Fort and as a base for the Roman army in the middle of the 1st century AD.
A short footpath (about 250 metres) leads up to the fort from a pull-in off the A373. On the opposite side of the road is another pull-in with extensive views over the surrounding countryside.
