The area enclosed by these defensive ramparts, approximately 200 acres, was a bustling settlement during the Iron Age, with roundhouses, trackways and field systems dividing up the flat top of the hillfort. The people farmed the land and traded for weapons and goods.
Now, Ham Hill is climbed by visitors every day to take in the history and the sunning views accross Somerset. Make sure you take those selfies when you make it to the top.
