Flower’s Barrow Hillfort, Dorset.

by Henry Rothwell · 28/11/2013

Flower’s Barrow hillfort is a multivallate Iron Age enclosure, the central area of which encompasses around 5 acres (2 hectares). Though cut in half by coastal erosion, it is thought to have originally been a hilltop fort. Possibly the only hillfort with a perfume named after it.
