A Romano-British House near Bedmore Barn, Ham Hill, Somerset
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 September 2012
Extract
Ham Hill forms the north-western and highest part of an irregular upland overlooking the lowlands of Somerset, some five miles west of Yeovil. The hill is famous for its earthworks, and for many antiquities of the Stone, Bronze, Late Celtic, and Roman periods which have been found upon it. Most of these seem to belong to its western portion, but the south-east corner near Bedmore, or Batemoor, Barn in the parish of Montacute has yielded interesting finds.

page 131 note 1 Much scale armour has previously been found elsewhere on Ham Hill. This must be a waif from it.
page 133 note 1 Prof. Haverfield observes that this piece resembles the Late Celtic ware, of which much has been found at Glastonbury and some at Ham Hill (V C H. Somerset, i, figs. 3, 63). Probably it is a waif, like the scale-armour, from the general remains of the hill, which include Late Celtic objects; otherwise its occurrence in a Roman “villa” of this kind would be remarkable.
