Dinedor Camp


Dinedor Camp is an Iron Age hillfort, about west of the village of Dinedor and about south of Hereford in England. It is a scheduled monument.
In 2016, Dinedor Camp was acquired by Dinedor Parish Council, as a Community Asset Transfer from Herefordshire Council.

Description

The fort is on a spur of Dinedor Hill; it overlooks to the east the River Wye at the confluence with the River Lugg.
It is about long and wide, enclosing an area of about. There is an out-turned entrance at the east. There is a steep natural slope on the south side, and a single rampart, about high, around the rest of the fort, rising to about in the north-east.
There was some excavation in 1951 at the north-east of the fort, a trench being cut from the edge of the rampart for about towards the centre of the camp. Sherds of Iron Age and Roman pottery, part of an iron axehead and other iron fragments were found.
