Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
[SU 3237]. The main defences show three phases of construction: (a) a timber-faced rampart of 4th century BC; (b) remodelling in glacis-style, 3rd-2nd centuries; and (c) redigging of the ditch in a flat-bottomed form possibly just before the Roman Conquest. The E gate underwent seven major periods of rebuilding, each showing sub-phases. A development from a simple gate to one defended by massive outworks has been demonstraled. The "middle earthwork" and the "outer earthwork" (probably stock-enclosures) are dated to 3rd-2nd century and 1st century BC respectively. Sample excavation of the interior of the fort showed that occupation was dense. Among the cultural material discovered was a hoard of currency bars. Four large "ritual pits" predate the building of the hillfort. Au(adp) | ||||||||||||
