| Information | |
Dinedor Camp is an Iron Age hill fort crowning the summit Dinedor Hill,[1] by Dinedor in Herefordshire.
Archaeological excavations have found material ranging from 1700 BC to 1100 AD.[2]
Finds include a considerable Iron Age pottery, with daub, many bones and several fragments of iron, including a portion of an iron axehead. A fair number of Roman sherds were also found. The area was not excavated sufficiently to indicate any hut plans. Coins of Galba and Citellius were found here.[3]
