| | This Hillfort would have been very important strategically in that the first sightings of an invasion could be notified to the other neighbouring hillforts which made up the defence system of the region. | | | It appears that the defenders of Abbotsbury Castle capitulated rather than resisted however, for there is no evidence to suggest a violent conclusion - but the Hillfort has yet to be excavated! | | | The Roman occupation of this area dates from 43/44AD when Vespasian's 2nd Augustian Legion carried out a campaign in the region which led to the subjugation of the Durotriges tribe. |
