Hawksdown Camp

DTM- (Digital Terrain Model, i.e. No buildings or foliage) Overlooking Axmouth and hidden in woodland lies the univallate partial contour hillfort, Hawksdown Camp. No excavations but surface finds include Roman lead ‘glandis’ or sling-bullets within the eastern defences suggesting a possible attack on the camp. Few further investigations, hence undated. Iron Age tribal association (conjecture based on location): Dumnonii (Scheduled Monument) [Any descriptive text is attributed to the Atlas of Hillforts & Historic England websites and any associated archaeological descriptions online which will be credited accordingly.]
