Camelot.
Well, Cadbury Castle has been associated with Arthurian legend since Tudor times (possibly because of the nearby River Camel).
But it was an iron-age hillfort, refortified at the time of the 6thC - so it's Artherish.

Aerial view of Caer Caradoc in Shropshire (UK), a large multivallate #hillfort built around 2500 years ago.

Caer Caradoc measures approximately 450m by 160m, enclosing an area of around 3ha. Unusually, it also has an ‘engineered terrace’ or causeway leading to the hillfort on the eastern side.

Caer Caradoc is named for a semi-legendary British (Welsh/Cornish/Breton) prince, who may have held the site as part of his territory.

A defended enclosure, which probably dates to the Iron Age, on the south east facing slopes of a rounded hill towards the head of the Afon Glan-rhyd, Pembrokeshire. It consists of a circular enclosure with a concentric annexe. #HillFortsWednesday #Hillfort #Wales More...

Traprain Law, a whaleback volcanic lump rising to 724ft in East Lothian. It was occupied from the Bronze Age and is said to have been home to King Loth of the Gododdin, who gave Lothian its name. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/eastlinton/traprainlaw/index.html

Today in Valheim

Today's stone excursion was to the south east of the hill-fort. I had heard a troll grumbling in the trees when I passed by here the other day scouting out troll locations. The knock-on effect of placing spawn protection in the troll pit has made most of my map notes on troll spots inaccurate to the point of being dangerous.

See if you can spot where our friend is hiding.

He seemed a bit stand-offish at first, but it turns out it was just pretending to blank me. As soon as I approached he turned around a dabbed like it was 2015.

I cringed hard enough for the both of us.

You know a trend is well passed its use-by-date if trolls have discovered it. When I started copying its body language and stamping about making gutteral noises, it became a bit sniffy, I think perhaps it thought I was taking the piss. As if I would.

Anyway, we set about the surrounding landscape. I took some before and after shots from approximately the same vantage point to clearly illustrate the brutal efficiency of harnessing troll power. Much more impressive than an inventory shot, I think.

Want to read more? Wondering what this is? Missed an installment? back issues here

Today (not) in Valheim - the Hill Fort Saga.

I made an index of my hill-fort posts for convenience sake, and was surprised by how many installments I have already.

It really is a saga.
