caption_attribution_description: Map of earthworks at Plainsfield Camp, Park Plantation, Somerset, England.
context_page_description: Plainsfield Camp is a possible Iron Age earthwork on the Quantock Hills near Aisholt in Somerset, England.
  The so-called hill fort has several features that make it more likely to be an animal enclosure, than a defended settlement:
  single rampart with ditch
  simple opening for an entrance
  situated on the slope of a hill
  the hill rises over 50 m above the ring
  the area is only 0.9 hectares
  The case for an enclosure is less clear cut than for Trendle Ring, since Plainsfield is on a spur and does have steep slopes on two sides, making it like a promontory fort, similar to nearby Ruborough.
  It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
