Listing Description

Bat’s Castle is an Iron Age hill fort at the top of a hill at 213 metres (699 ft) Carhampton and South West of Dunster on Exmoor National Park.

The site was discovered in 1983 by some schoolboys when they found eight silver plated coins which dated from 102BC to AD350.

Bat’s Castle is the highest point of Gallox Hill, previously it was known as Caesar’s Camp and could possibly be associated with Black Ball Camp. Bat’s Castle has 2 stone ramparts and 2 ditches, the ramparts are damaged in places and the hill fort is partly covered in scrub.

Walking to Bat’s Castle from Dunster I recommend following the path over the Gallox Bridge up the sheltered coach road, a nice slow and steady walk which is clearly signposted.
