It is {{convert|585|ft|m|0}} above sea level and is a landmark.[1] Its name derives from the Celtic din for fort and corn meaning horn-shaped.[2] GeologyThe bedrock is sedimentary limestone of the Great Oolite layer.[3] This is typically covered with a soil layer of {{convert|5|-|6|in|cm|0}}. The soil is mostly brown or greyish brown but there are some yellow patches. The drainage on the hill is good.[4] The hill contains deposits of fuller's earth[5] and these have been analysed for their content of fossil shellfish.[6] HistoryIt has been speculated that the hill may have been the site of a Bronze or Iron Age hill fort.[7][8] Field investigations searching for a fort were made in 1966, but no evidence was found.[9] The scarps which had been seen from the road and were thought to provide evidence of a man-made structure were found to be natural geological formations. There was also no sign of the cairn or pile of stones which had been described in the 18th century,[10] but in 1975, Ralph Whitlock wrote of hilltop earthworks that were occupied in Iron Age times.[11] References1. ^{{citation|url=https://bathnes.gov.uk/SiteCollectionDocuments/Environment%20and%20Planning/World%20Heritage%20Site%20Setting%20Study%20rev4%20current%2022-10-09%20WEB%20VERSION%20PART%205.pdf |title=World Heritage Site Setting Study |chapter=Appendix 8 Rural Landscapes of Bath and North East Somerset |year=2003 |quote=...and Duncorn Hill.
