| Abstract: |
The focus of this article is the contribution made by aerial archaeology to our appreciation and understanding of Montgomeryshire’s hillforts and smaller defended enclosures in terms of their landscape setting, form and relationships, as seen in images from the collection of the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust. Despite undoubted advances, many questions remain unanswered about these fascinating monuments. One is left with the feeling that if we could investigate them, selectively, just a little more fully, we might open up a rich fund of evidence about events, social organisation and economy in the fifteen hundred years or so between the later Bronze Age and the end of the Roman period (and perhaps even beyond). |
