Description: | A view in ink of the ''beginning of the earthwork between Cuthbury (Cadbury) Camp and Mr Abram Elden's summer-house'' at Clevedon in Somerset. Mr Abraham Elton was a wealthy Bristol merchant and public figure who had purchased Clevedon Court in 1709 as a family home.
Cadbury Camp is a prehistoric hillfort inhabited at various times as a place of defence against the Romans, Anglo Saxons and later the Vikings. The circular camp, lying above the road to Clevedon, measures 300 yards across and consists of two banks and a ditch. There are other earthworks nearby such as Woodhill Camp and on Walton Castle Hill. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Grimm, Samuel Hieronymus | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
