Abstract:
Hillforts have been studied by archaeologists for 150 years. A brief chronology from 900 – 100 BC and a description of hillforts and their development follows. The variability amongst hillforts in terms of their size, form, defensive strength and occupation is immense. Some hillforts were built on the sites of Neolithic causewayed enclosures, some incorporate barrows, and many are associated with a number of other monument types in their contemporary late prehistoric landscape. Maiden Castle is an outstanding example of its class, surviving well and acting as a landmark in the local area. Its history is well known, having been the subject of investigations over the years by, amongst others, Sir Mortimer Wheeler.
