Abstract:		 Early Neolithic material occurs in quantity below the inner rampart; thermoluminescence dating of pottery suggests a date for this settlement, which may have been embanked, of 3300 + 800 BC. The earliest Iron Age defence, Rampart A (dated to Hengistbury A phase) was of clay and small stones in a timber frame implying massive effort and deforestation. Over its collapsed remains was built Rampart B, of stone and timber in a modified Preist construction. Ramparts C and D are badly collapsed. Rampart E, the post-Roman defence, was very crudely built in timber and stone. At the SW entrance the Aethelredan gate was excavated; remnants of the arch responds and pivot stone showed how completely the burh defences had been slighted. A crude rebuilding had followed some time afterwards. Inside the hillfort, two Iron Age round houses, and a rectangular timber ?shrine surrounded by burials of animal skulls, were excavated, as were traces of a Roman military building and part of a post-Roman structure.
