Not far from Killerton House is an old Iron Age hillfort known as Dolbury Hill. Within this mound is reputed to be stored a mass of treasure that is guarded by the Killerton Dragon. | Not far from Killerton House is an old Iron Age hillfort known as Dolbury Hill. Within this mound is reputed to be stored a mass of treasure that is guarded by the Killerton Dragon. | ||
Every night the Dragon is reputed to fly North-West across the valley of the River Exe to the nearby mound that is Cadbury Castle (OS Map Ref. SS 913052), and then back again. | |||
The reason for this is that the Dragon also has a horde of treasure enterred in that hill also. As an old rhyme says: | |||

Cadbury Castle is another Iron Age hillfort and is one of the main contenders for being the location of King Arthur Pendragon's Camelot. So in a sense, it could be said that there has been a Dragon there from at least 480AD. | Cadbury Castle is another Iron Age hillfort and is one of the main contenders for being the location of King Arthur Pendragon's Camelot.
