Carman Hill-fort: western wall of annexe
See NS3779 : Ancient hill-fort on Carman Hill for the main description of the hill-fort. Click on the end-note title for related pictures, and see the annotated satellite view linked from the end-note as an index to these pictures and their positions in the fort.
The present picture shows part of the western (or inner) wall of the annexe, the side nearest the centre of the fort; the wall is therefore shared with the fort's outer enclosure. The part shown here is a continuation of the one shown in NS3779 : Carman Hill-fort: western wall of annexe (the present picture shows what is, in that other picture, hidden by the intervening brow of the slope).
