Abstract:		 Ham Hill in Somerset is the largest prehistoric hillfort in Britain. However, despite a long and complex history of exploration, very little is known about its date, occupation and significance. This article explains the background to a new project being undertaken in advance of quarrying '“ sanctioned by English Heritage as the site's distinctive honey-gold limestone is needed for work on listed structures. Work will include the excavation of a 1.1 hectare area in the south-west corner of the fort, geophysical survey, and the publication of earlier fieldwork. Some of the results obtained so far are discussed here, including details of the multi-phased occupation inside the hillfort from the geophysical survey (including a previously known Roman villa), and the excavation of a substantial collection of Neolithic stone tools. Bronze Age field boundaries have also been investigated. Uniquely in Britain, the Iron Age crop assemblage from the site is dominated by black mustard seeds. Two further seasons of excavations are planned. LD
