Abstract: |
The area of Liddington Castle has shown evidence of activity from the Palaeolithic period [by means of flint tools] to evidence of settlement with linear ditches representing field boundaries and barrows. It had been suggested that Liddington castle was one of the earliest Iron Age hillforts, although there may have been no extensive occupation at the fort. Evidence of Roman activity was also demonstrated through evidence of a shrine or temple. Post-Roman activity consisted of little evidence suggesting agricultural use. The last known non-agricultural use of the site was during the first half of the 20th century, when the hillfort was used as part of the military manoeuvres associated with Chisledon Camp. There may also have been some activity during the Second World War. [Au(abr)] |
