Bloodgate Hill Hillfort

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

An Iron Age hillfort, located on a hill above the village of South Creake. It is unusual to find Iron Age forts in Norfolk, and Bloodgate hill is one of the best. The origin of the name 'Bloodgate' is unknown, and it is unlikely to denote anything remotely bloody! The fort is almost completely circular, with a smaller ring within the perimeter, from which Iron Age pottery has been recovered.

The Norfolk Archaeological Trust has purchased 7 hectares of land around the hillfort to protect it from the ravages of ploughing, and the site is accessible at any time.
