Abstract:
This article presents the results of the important but hitherto unpublished excavations between 1960 and 1971 at the iron age hillfort on Burrough Hill, Leicestershire. these examined the inturned entrance, several pits in the interior and an area behind the north-western rampart. The inturned entrance had two structural phases, the latter incorporating a recessed chamber with drystone walls. radiocarbon dates show that the inturn was constructed in the fourth or third centuries cal Bc, whilst occupation in the chamber ended by the early second century cal Bc. Many of the pits were contemporary with the entrance, but there was clearly further significant activity in the hillfort in the conquest period and extensive later roman use of the site.
