Bogdalsberget hillfort in Saltvik on Åland is a much more convincing piece of 1st Millennium fortification. This is what its drystone rampart looks like after 1500 years of no upkeep. Still more than one Chinawoman high. ❤️

The hillfort we regularly walk at is 'under new management'.
This year the usual grazing access doesn't seem to have been granted to the farmer that used to have sheep up here for a few weeks by now, so the bluebells are far more numerous, and the grass is getting longer than it did before.
Perhaps, like my own wild areas of garden, there will be interesting new arrivals now they've been given the time to develop instead of being nibbled.

“In a recent study [(link above), the authors] identified more than 600 suspected house platforms in the Brusselstown Ring hillfort [Ireland], making it the largest nucleated settlement ever discovered in the entirety of prehistoric Britain and Ireland thus far. Subsequent test excavations revealed evidence of Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age occupation as well as a potential water cistern, which may be the very first of its kind in an Irish hillfort…”

Here is my latest video. Created with many thanks to Cathy McIver, the project manager at Stroanfreggan Dig. Also thanks to AOC Archaeology Group, who Cathy works for, and Carsphairn Heritage Initiative.
Thanks to Jo at the CatStrand too for putting me in touch with Cathy.

Dumpdon Great Camp: An Iron Age hillfort located on a detached hill at the southern end of a steep-sided ridge of Upper Greensand between the River Otter and the Luppitt Brook. The flat topped and triangular shaped #hillfort of 2.6 hectares was defended by two substantial ramparts and ditches on the northern side, controlling the only easy line of approach, and by single ramparts on the east and west sides. 📷 Bladup #HillfortsWednesday #Devon #archaeology #IronAge More:

Bjomdalskollen: This #hillfort was constructed on a remote plateau in Telemark, #Norway. It has an inner 30m stone wall along a cliff with large stones at a possible gate, and a fragmented outer wall 80m to the SW. Other features include a bog, a stone structure for projectiles and a ravine with a cairn. It is reachable by a steep ravine path or 2km unmarked hike from the NE and offers superb views and ambience amid nearby barrow cemeteries and rock art. 📷 kenntha88 More:

Trencrom Hill, Cornwall, on the St Micheal’s Way footpath. A Neolithic tor enclosure reused as an Iron Age hill fort. Earth and stone bank can still be seen along with signs of hut circles. According to folk lore, the giant Trecrobben, the giant of Trencrom, killed the wife of Cormoran by throwing a hammer over to St Micheal’s Mount. Site donated to the National Trust by Lt-col Tyringham as a memorial to those killed in WW1 & WW2. #neolithic #ironage #hillfort #history #folklore
