Carman Hill-fort: eastern 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 hill-fort has an annexe on its eastern side. The annexe is longest in the N-S direction. The present photograph shows part of its eastern (or outer) wall, the side furthest from the centre of the fort.
Only part of the wall can be seen in this photo, because it passes over the brow of the hill; for the part that is not far ahead, but out of sight, see NS3779 : Carman Hill-fort: eastern wall of annexe.
