Abstract: |
Magnetometer survey of the interior of the Iron Age hillfort at Castle Hill, carried out as a training exercise in conjunction with The Northmoor Trust, has revealed a considerable amount of new information on the internal character of the site. The most notable result of the survey is the detection of a previously unknown inner ditch circuit encircling the highest ground within the centre of the fort. Plentiful evidence of occupation was also detected in the fort including a series of large rectangular positive anomalies of unusual form and appearance as well as scattered pit-type anomalies. Further linear anomalies around the periphery of the site may represent soil build-up against the internal face of the inner rampart resulting from down-slope soil movement, or evidence of a second hitherto unrecognised enclosure circuit of disjointed form. |
