Lotte Scott is a London-based artist concerned with tradition, memory and sense of place. Here we present an extract of her multimedia project, The Hill, a two-and-a-half year study of an Iron Age hill fort, called Cadbury Castle, in Somerset.

The series explores the history of the hill and Lotte’s own ties to the area. In the images below, she documents the blustery, exposed climate of the hill, various methods of gauging the area (using dowsing rods and pieces of string) and finds made by local treasure hunters.
