Clubbiedean Hill-Fort. Earthworks can still be seen in the fields although I imagine a lot of the fort is lost to the man-made reservoir.

Danebury Iron Age #Hillfort, but what I wasn't expecting were the circular features on the right with one larger circular feature, but this is different. This one has some sort of entrance leading to an enclosure!...

Happy New Year 🥂

#hillfortswednesday not the easiest hill fort to visualise given the (beautiful) trees now growing there - Sharpenhoe Clappers, in Bedfordshire. Great place for a walk.

A slight technical challenge (ie big gap 🙄) with the #Lidar data for Burnswark #Hillfort and associated #Roman Camps, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
Was the fort besieged by the Romans or were they simply seige tactic training camps?

Something for #HillfortsWednesday.

We're littered with #IronAge #hillforts in the northern Cheviots.

This is an 1769 map of #Northumberland showing the belief of the time about these structures. I'm fascinated by the #stories we've told about the landscape over the centuries, trying to make sense of what was under our feet and on our horizons.
