| Abstract: |
An account of excavation of the fortified settlement. The fortifications encircle almost all of the hill measuring nearly half a mile long and 330 yards in diameter and comprise two distinct phases of construction. At least five gateways have been identified. Five trenches were excavated and recovered evidence for multiple phases of occupation. Features in the interior included the foundations for buildings and hearths. The report presents details of the pottery assemblage, personal ornaments, glass vessels, harness mountings, weapons, tools, mould, crucibles and coins. |
