Abstract:		 [SH 968757]. A recut in 1969 of Gardner's section of the main S rampart established a structural sequence partly confirmed by a series of 14C dates. Charcoal from a thick pre-rampart occupation layer and from the collapse of the rampart itself suggests that the Period I defence of timber "rafts" set in clay and tied to uprights at front and back was built in about 9th century BC. The Period II rampart (c 500 BC) was of dry-stone walling with horizontal timber-lacing and stone revetting. Both ramparts had been burnt, the second producing quantities of slaked lime. The Period III-IV stone-faced rampart was built further out, beyond the primary ditch. Sufficient metal and ceramic material is now known in the Welsh Marches to support the theory of a penetration by Urnfield peoples, perhaps those who built the promontory forts of Lower Normandy. A geographically distant site, the Wittnauer Horn of Switzerland, provides the best structural parallel to Dinorben I among excavated sites.
