#HillfortsWednesday - @durotrigesdig.bsky.social No Miles, a brathair, I hadn't forgotten - just had a bad day .... Knock of Alves, Moray www.trove.scot/archive/1330...

#HillfortsWednesday my pics of the trip to Llanquian #Hillfort near Cowbridge in #Glamorgan south #Wales. An oval enclosure, c.140m by 87m, defined by a bank and ditch, largely reduced to a scarp, set with a sub-circular enclosure, c.165m in diameter. #Archaeology

Whoa #HillFortsWednesday is a Thing! Fantastic, I love a good hillfort

Camp Celtique de Bière: A massive fortified encampment dated back to 4000 BC but with traces of habitation long before that, near the village of Merri Bière in Orne, Normandie. #HillfortsWednesday Near the village of Merri Bière in Orne, Normandie. More 1/

Great aerial photographs of some wonderful hillforts in this 🧵 #HillfortsWednesday

🧵/12 Followed by a long-awaited revisit to Old Oswestry & it couldn't have been a more perfect day for it 😊 #HillfortsWednesday

🧵/11 The following day & it was all going on, First of all a dawn walk up the Wrekin which was... 🥵🥵🥵 ...but at least it wasn't foggy this time, really the very opposite #HillfortsWednesday

from last spring ❤️

Uffington White Horse chasing sheep up to the hillfort! ​This abstract wonder, carved over 3,000 years ago, still sparks so much debate. Is it a horse, a tribal symbol, or perhaps the iconic mark of a dragon slain by St. George? The enduring mystery is part of its magic. ​ #AncientMystery #Geoglyph

🧵/6 The following day however was much better, starting out from Caernarfon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Caught the small farmstead of Caer Leb... #HillfortsWednesday

This is a lovely Lego model of a Scottish #IronAge #hillfort created by “Brick to the Past” - good that it depicts a wide range of activities being carried out there. #HillfortsWednesday

🧵/10 The day finished with glorious autumn colours over Dinas Dinorwig 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 that was a real treat 😋 #HillfortsWednesday

Long live #HillfortsWednesday! 🙂

@durotrigesdig.bsky.social Besides Sandi and the archaelogists on site, I too wept when I saw the face of that teenage victim. I hadn't realised the subject would be so emotional. I'm sure Sandi wasn't being performative - this was no act put onto boost ratings (though it was TV gold)!

🧵/9 Perched just beneath the highest point on Holyhead, Caer-y-Twr with its very pleasing stone ramparts #HillfortsWednesday

Now I am as enthusiastic as the next person about #HillFortsWednesday - but I think Pedro takes the dog biscuit for his love of Hod Hill in north Dorset. Flying over the ramparts and admiring what the Romans did to the place when they built their camp in the north west corner from AD 43

For a slightly later than planned contribution to #HillfortsWednesday a spectacular view of the Medieval hillfort at Tērvete in the Semigallia region of Latvia dating from the 13th Century.

By amazing coincidence, my offering for #HillfortsWednesday was already lined up when I saw the post below: the opposite view of the bench on which @pottedhistory.bsky.social is sitting! I believe there is a hillfort lurking in the distance on the right (Lordenshaws).

Brent Knoll, from Ancient Earthworks & Camps of Somerset (Edward J. Burrow, 1924). #HillfortsWednesday #Watercolour #BrentKnoll #Somerset #NorthSomerset

🧵/4 Then heading north west to the Malvern Hills, Midsummer Hill just south along the same ridgeline as British Camp #HillfortsWednesday

🧵/3 Followed a short distance away by Cleeve Hill, with its surprisingly sturdy ramparts (bit of later norman help perhaps?) #HillfortsWednesday

A different perspective for #HillfortsWednesday.

Hammer Wood. West Sussex. Hidden in the trees below are some significant earthworks of an Iron Age Hillfort. Access permissive from the Chithurst Buddhist Community. #hillfortswednesday

This is where we finished up, a glorious sunset at British Camp, rounding out a long weekend with a lot of Hillforting across Wales & Shropshire with that in mind thought today could use a 🧵 of the highlights for #HillfortsWednesday 👇

Castleberg, an inland promontory fort overlooking the River Wharfe just west of #Ilkley, #NorthYorkshire. Undated, w. no known excavations. The landscape speaks. #HillfortsWednesday

🧵/ First of all & I know a lot of you have seen this already, but we're in the middle of a big series on Hillforts, We're getting them out as fast as we can but its a huge job, you can catch our progress so far in this playlist >>> www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #HillfortsWednesday

For our #hillfort clip this week, we travel over to the Isle of Bute and Barone Hill, overlooking Rothesay. With stunning views , it has two lines of enclosure, representing separate phases of construction and some facing stones that once dressed the walls can still be seen. #HillfortsWednesday

We're kinda new to #HillfortsWednesday. Are we doing it right? www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scot...

🧵/2 So After the drive to Gloucestershire & with great views over the city, a look at Leckhampton Hill #Hillfortswednesday

#HillfortsWednesday Bolt Tail Iron Age promontory fort (the first shot is from a drone & not mine) I love to think of them trading from here

🧵/1 Well - we started the week somewhere completely else, and in an effort to fill in our large gap of Hillforts around the home counties, Bulstrode Camp, Buckinghamshire (interestingly what looks like a feature there really isn't, but thats a story for another time) #HillfortsWednesday

Mynydd-y-Gaer: Hillfort in Denbighshire. #HillfortsWednesday There's a quite steep side, and a gentle sloping side. The defences on the western side are the best preserved, with no really obvious entrances, but the views are terrific.

Loved this episode! The @durotrigesdig.bsky.social is still top of my bucket list, must get down next summer #Archaeology #Durotriges #IronAge

The only reason to be on #AncientBluesky it's #HillfortsWednesday 🥳🍻 Lou Barker facing the majestic cliff castle of Gurnard's Head, west Penwith, #Cornwall. The far end is crowded with houses & dominated by a towering outcrop ⛰️😮 In the care of @nattrustarch.bsky.social 📷 Yesterday

Sandby borg is an Iron Age ringfort. It lies c. 2 kilometers southeast of Södra Sandby village in Sandby parish in southeastern Öland. From 2011 the excavations show that it was the scene of a massacre in the late 5th century AD. Photo: Sebastian Jakobsson. #HillfortsWednesday

What was really cracking me up about this headline, as not a few #HillfortsWednesday folks will have noticed ...you can summarise our whole field, just by adding a single letter
