Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The chevaux-de-frise form of defence found in a few early fortifications in Britain and Ireland may have only a cousinly relationship with the Iberian examples, both regions receiving the idea from Central Europe. Most of the British and Irish examples (5 Scottish, 3 Welsh and 4 Irish) have stone settings, but there is a possible Manx example in timber (S Barrule). The forts are of variant types and have only this form of defence in common. The Iberian examples, all with stone settings, belong to the totally non-maritime Douro culture of the Meseta and are thus inherently unlikely to have influenced Britain and Ireland. Both examples of this defence from Central Europe are in timber; one is of Hallstatt C date, the other is associated with timber-laced walls of ?Preist type, and both are early enough to have preceded the more durable stone settings of Iberia and Britain. Moreover, derivation of the British series from Central Europe rather than Iberia would accord with current thought on, for instance, stamped EIA pottery (70/642). | ||||||
