Little Solsbury Hill

Little Solsbury Hill is a small flat-topped hill in Somerset with the earthworks of an Iron Age univallate hillfort. The summit contains the remains of a stone-faced rampart and the cleared area where timber-framed wattle-and-daub huts once stood. The site gives panoramic views over the Avon valley and the city of Bath and is protected as a scheduled monument.

As it stood in 200 BC

What Little Solsbury Hill looked like in its prime.

A broad, flat-topped limestone hillock clothed in short calcareous grass and low wildflowers, its triangular summit encircled by a single wide earth-and-stone rampart with a visibly steeper outer face. The summit surface is levelled to bedrock with faint traces of internal foundations and gaps where 19th-century quarrying cut into the slopes. The horizon opens to the south over the Avon valley and Bath; paths cross the turf and grazing animals may be present.
