Bloody Acre

DTM- (Digital Terrain Model, i.e. No buildings or foliage) In-between the M5 and Leyhill lies the multivallate contour hillfort, Bloody Acre. In the listed parkland of the De Vere Tortworth Court hotel this un-excavated hillfort was found to have a tessellated pavement in 1768. Unless a battle was fought here at some point, why call it Bloody Acre? Roman pottery found during fieldwalks. Site, post Roman invasion interpreted to be a villa or Roman temple. Last field investigation 1970. Records lost. Iron Age tribal association (conjecture based on location): Dobunni ( Scheduled Monument)
