A little #Dorset gem for #HillfortsWednesday At the margins of modern Bournemouth, the 3.2 ha hillfort of Dudsbury occupies a commanding position above the river #Stour as it approaches Hengistbury Head and the sea Overshadowed by its more showy Iron Age cousins, Dudsbury is simply 😍 📷 Aug 2025

It's #HillfortsWednesday & what could be better than a conversation with Miles Russell @durotrigesdig.bsky.social himself! discussing the Dorset Iron Age, Oppida, Matrilocality & the Maiden Castle 'War Cemetery' Its here >>> www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpA_... 📷 Maiden Castle at sunrise last week

🧵/6 Next - the shell mosaic from room 5, a foyer that linked the dining room to the bedroom & antechamber Many of these mosaics have damage, possibly due to the reuse of parts of the site in later centuries as workshops #MosaicMonday

Having a nephew to occupy last week gave me just the excuse i needed to revisit @romanpalace.bsky.social Now in some ways they need no introduction, they're kinda living legends round these parts but sometimes its nice to have other people say nice things about you so: thread time 🧵👇 #MosaicMonday

It's not every day you get to sit down with Miles Russell @durotrigesdig.bsky.social & talk about the Dorset Iron Age so a lot of you here will understand just how excited I was to do that 😊 & its quite a relaxing watch too >>> www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpA_Ist5LRY 📷 Maiden Castle #AncientSiteSunday

I've lived in Bournemouth 15 years, never made it to Highcliffe before today but a wedding affords me the excuse & while its credentials as a fortification are... well, faux-gothic isn't usually my scene but we're having a great day #CastleSaturday

#SteepleSaturday & its a long time since i last saw Norwich Cathedral, very much enjoyed having a wander round again

#CastleSaturday & Norwich Castle is definitely looking better now the scaffoldings gone didn't have time to go in on this occasion

Had a nephew to show around Roman Britain this week 😁 we caught quite a bit, beginning with: Harlow Roman Temple, its nice somethings been done with the site to help the public, but on closer inspection the stone slabs look like they've just been picked up from a garden centre #RomanSiteSaturday

park book tick #ThePowerOfTheDayOff

#RuinedPrioryFriday & a new one for us this week East Anglia is overflowing with monastic houses - but along the suffolk coast - Leiston Abbey, currently needing some tlc as the mortar between the flints crumbles but still great to see
