Abstract:
A topographic survey of the Iron Age hillfort at Cherry Hill, Fownhope was undertaken by Herefordshire Archaeology. The aims of the survey were to produce an accurate plan of the monument and associated features, and to record areas of vitrification on the defensive circuit. A plan of the earthworks was produced at a scale of 1:500. Field observations during the survey and other site visits suggest that the primary phase fort was involved in some form of major power struggle resulting in its total destruction through burning. A second fort was then constructed on the site. However, much of the bedrock beneath the line of the first phase defences was so badly affected by the intense heat during its destruction that the builders of the second fort had to construct the western and northern defences on a new line.
