Dogbury Hill

Hillfort

formicaant Feb 8, 2010

Finally got around to taking some photos of the site, had to wait until winter as it’s obscured by undergrowth in summer. It is a slight hillfort and is best seen from the valley below, I have walked up it but didn’t today as it was far too muddy.

A small, little known univallate hillfort, the only real mention of this site on the whole web is a reference to it by Thomas Hardy in Tess of the D’Urbevilles.
