Monochrome watercolour giving a distant view of an iron age hillfort. In the foreground we see open fields, dotted with occasional trees, beyond which a hill stretches across almost the whole width of the image; earthworks can be seen on its flanks. The sky above is partially clouded.

A flat-topped hill, fringed by trees.

Camelot.
Cadbury Castle - long associated with the 'Arthurian' era. An iron-age hillfort, re-fortified in the 6th century.

In middle distance, a long, flattish hill, ringed by trees.

Camelot.
Well, Cadbury 'Castle' has been associated with Arthurian legend since Tudor times (possibly because of the nearby River Camel).
But it was an iron-age hillfort, refortified in the 6thC - so it's Artherish.
