    A huge Iron age Hillfort that was later quarried for the Hamstone that has built most of south Somerset. Now a country park.

    Had a wander round as its right near Montacute.

      Great photos Zig.
      I love wandering round places like that when I get the chance. Trouble is, we don't have proper hills round these parts.

      There is John, I was picking up some stone from there, a young Irish lad was leading me to it through all the mud on a horrible rain lashed day.

      I said to him that it was terrible weather and he stopped, turned round and looked right into the window of my soul and said......

      Not much more was said:thud:
