Abstract:
The present survey was undertaken by Archaeological Investigation, English Heritage, as part of the Malvern Hills AONB Archaeological Survey Project 'British Camp' and 'Herefordshire Beacon are now used rather imprecisely as alternatives but presumably the former originally referred to the hill fort as a whole while the latter referred specifically to the main summit - being analogous with the 'Worcestershire Beacon' - and its crowning ringwork. English Heritage divorced survey of site was undertaken at a scale of 1:1000. Control was established using a Wild-Leitz co-axial EDM with Key Terra Firma software to run a nineteen-station closed traverse (accuracy = 1/7,500), with some further control points established subsequently using common points. Hard detail (paths, steps, benches, boundary stones) was also supplied electronically as part of the control survey. All earthwork detail was supplied into the control plot using tape-and-offset methods and, in parts of the interior, plane table with Wild RKI self-reducing alidade. The profiles were surveyed with a pocket level.
