Abstract:		 Ham Hill is an unusually large Iron Age hillfort extending over 80 hectares rich in the remains of later prehistoric and Roman activity. Parts of the site have been quarried for Ham Hill Stone since the Roman period and two active quarries continue in operation, with the remainder utilised as a country park managed by South Somerset District Council. Caesium magnetometer survey was undertaken in the unthreatened north eastern area of the hillfort to complete the geophysical coverage of the monument and augment intrusive investigations taking place in advance of renewed quarry expansion. The surveys have provided detailed evidence for activity within the hillfort interior from the Bronze Age to Roman periods, together with later quarrying sites that have obscured traces of earlier occupation in some areas. Combined with the earlier geophysical surveys a near complete archaeological map of the internal character of the hillfort is now available, resulting in an enhanced understanding of an important monument under continued pressure from mineral resource exploitation.
