Lewesdon Hill

Hillfort

Miscellaneous

There may have been some occupation, but would a hillfort be necessary here anyway with Pilsdon so close by? I wouldn't be surprised if the hill had been used in ancient times as the Golden cap is directly south on the coast. It is the disputed highest point Dorset, Pilsdon is often reckoned to be but Lewesdon is marked higher on o.s. maps, for what that's worth.
Glad to be proven wrong by the above, newer entries.
