Dinedor Hill is situated 2.5 miles south of Hereford. It is the site of Dinedor Camp, an Iron Age hillfort. More specifically a promontory fort. It is a Scheduled Monument first designated in 1928.[1] It was occupied until late into the first century CE.[2] Roman coins dating from 68-9 CE have been found there.[3]
The hill has been a local visitor attraction since at least the late 19th century.[4]
The name dates back to at least the Roman period and was originally derived from the Welsh words din (fort) and bre (hill)[5]
