Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Extract
‘Cadbury Castle or Camelot’ is the name given by the Ordnance Survey to the 18-acre (c. 7-ha) multi-ramparted hillfort which stands above the villages of Sutton Montis and South Cadbury in the county of Somerset (NGR ST 6225). Abbreviated to Cadbury-Camelot, it serves conveniently to distinguish this fortthe scene of intensive excavations in 1966-70 from Cadbury Castle by Cadbury, Devon (NGR SS 9105), Cadbury Camp by Congresbury (NGR ST 4464), or various other Cadbury Camps and Castles.

Footnotes
By permission of the Governing Body of Exeter College, Oxford, we print here the Marett Memorial Lecture for 1970–71. In it, the Director of the Cadbury-Camelot excavations examines some of the wider aspects of his work; and bearing in mind R. R. Marett's special interests, weaves a thread of anthropological speculation across the warp of archaeological fact.
