The Toby inn renamed this eatery after the nearby hillfort on the eastern end of the Dundry ridge (see ST5966 : Profile for a view of it). Before that it was called the Black Lion, named after the landowning Lyons family who held a number of properties locally, including what is now known as Lyons Court Farm. That dates back to the thirteenth century. Prior to the current Black Lion, there was an older inn of the same name and another close by called the White Hart. Both were demolished to provide room for the new version in about 1850.
