On Cadson Bury Fort Cadson Bury Fort is an Iron Age Hill Fort built on the top of a high hill next to the River Lynher. The fort on the hilltop is oval in shape and the ramparts enclose an area approximately 220 metres wide from north to south and 130 metres wide from east to west. Inside this the land rises to a gentle mound. The steep sided ramparts lead down to a ditch surrounding the hilltop. This view shows just a section of the northern edge of the fort.

Spider Web in the Grass The grass at the top of the hill at Cadson fort was covered in these little spider webs which, being covered in dew were very plain to see. They lead down into a funnel at the centre of the web where presumably a spider waits for visitors.
