Dyrham Camp Hillfort
|
|
Otherwise known as Hinton Hillfort this Iron Age fortification is the traditional site of the Battle of Dyrham in 577AD. In this battle, according to the Anglo Saxon Chronicle, the Saxons led by "Cuthwine and Ceawlin fought against the Britons and slew three kings, Coinmail, Condidan and Farimail at the place which is called Dyrham; and they captured three cities, Gloucester, Cirencester and Bath". Though the site of the battle is not known, what is very clear is the spectacular location of the hillfort, with wonderful views towards Wales. The best place to view the hillfort is from the National Trust property of Dyrham Park. Beside the hillfort are remnants of medieval strip lychets, also best seen from Dyrham Park.
