Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
SE 816535. Fairly extensive excavation of the only hillfort on the Yorkshire Wolds showed that deep ploughing had removed most of the internal features. Behind the single ditch the rampart, completely levelled, had been of modified Priest construction confined between two lines of posts 6ft apart. These continued uninterrupted past the only ditch causeway located; however, the causeway was probably a genuine, if minor entrance with perhaps a clear way left through one or two of the rampart "boxes". The four-post granaries are discussed in their British context (see 69/501). There were no storage pits. Pottery is atypical of the Yorkshire EIA. The four burials, including that of a warrior with shield (recorded by Mortimer from just within the defences) are discussed, and a typology for Iron Age shields with oval bosses is suggested. A fifth burial was found in the ditch filling-in 1961. There are problems of dating and of associating the defences with the internal features. Animal remains are analysed in their EIA context; two 14C dates obtained from stratified bone proved unhelpful. | |||||||||||||||||
