caption_attribution_description: English: Broadclyst: hillfort earthworks Evidence for the ramparts of the iron age hillfort remains. It dates from the period 400 BC to 43 AD and was built in two phases. Legend has it that a dragon protected treasure in wells at this fort and a second encampment at nearby Cadbury: the treasure served as offerings to the gods to ensure good harvests. As the dragon was always at the other hilltop its existence could never be proved or disproved. Treasure hunters were apparently deterred from plundering the wells for fear of winged attack. Trees on Dolbury were originally planted by John Veitch, a Scot who landscaped the park for the Acland family in the eighteenth century and later became agent for the estate. Killerton Clump is recognisable today driving up the M5 from Exeter
context_page_description: Dolbury is another local name for the Iron Age hill fort or enclosure at Killerton Park in Devon. It is referred to as such in several books and websites on Iron Age sites. The hill fort is situated on a hilltop some 128 Metres above Sea Level, the hilltop has a flat promontory jutting out northwards, still some 100 metres above sea level, around which the River Culm bends. The situation of the hill in the Culm Valley makes it very significant, although that can be hard to appreciate from the views afforded of it from the M5 motorway.
