Cadbury Castle, Somerset

Cadbury Castle, formerly known as Camalet, is a Bronze and Iron Age hillfort in the civil parish of South Cadbury in the English county of Somerset. It is a Scheduled monument and has been associated with King Arthur's supposed court at \"Camelot\".
The hillfort is formed by a 7. 28 hectares plateau surrounded by ramparts on the surrounding slopes of the limestone Cadbury Hill. The site has been excavated in the late 19th and early 20th century by James Bennett and Harold St George Gray. More recent examination of the site in the 1960s by Leslie Alcock and since 1992 by the South Cadbury Environs Project. These have revealed artifacts from human occupation and use from the Neolithic through the Iron and Bronze Ages. The site was reused by the Roman forces and again from c. 470 until some time after 580. In the 11th century it temporarily housed a Saxon mint. Evidence of various buildings at the site have been identified including a \"Great Hall\", round and rectangular house foundations, metalworking, and a possible sequence of small rectangular temples or shrines.
