About

Ham Hill is a large area of public open space centred on an Iron Age hillfort with visible earthworks and former quarry faces. The hill is quarried for honey-coloured Hamstone, a local building stone that appears in walls and cottages nearby and gives many structures their characteristic tone. The site is recognised for its geology and exposed stone layers, and a network of paths crosses grassland, scrub and quarry terraces that reveal the stone seams.

Merriott is a nearby village with a long association with the hill and the stone industry; several houses and a parish church use Hamstone in their construction. The village sits amid farmland and lanes, with field boundaries and hedgerows that reflect agricultural patterns. Public footpaths connect Merriott to the hill, making access straightforward for walkers and those studying the quarries and earthworks. Local community facilities and village-scale services support residents while the landscape retains evidence of past extraction and continuous rural use.
