Description: Footpaths on Norton Hillfort. Footpath T 18/1, which has followed the circular earthwork for about a third of its circumference, branches off to the right here to follow the field boundary glimpsed through the gap towards Langford. A trail continues around the perimeter of the hillfort, shown as Norton Camp on the maps, and which also appears in 50048. Stone tools show that the site has been in use for a quarter of a million years, initially by an early form of human. The bronze and Iron Age earthworks were used by the Romans, but after 100 AD the settlement was abandoned. In the Middle Ages it was used as a deer park.
