Capler Camp

Capler Camp is an Iron Age hill fort located 2.5 km south of Fownhope, Herefordshire.

The Camp is on a hill top above the River Wye. It has a double layer of ditches enclosing ten acres.

The Wye Valley Walk goes through this land.

Capler was known as Capelore in the Domesday Book. This name combined caple, "look-out place" with ofer, "flat-topped ridge".
