@henryrothwell.bsky.socialPresenting the magnificently titled Thundersbarrow Hillfort. This much denuded Sussex hillfort has some very interesting earlier features.

@howards.bsky.socialFor #hillfortswednesday a peek at #Ilbury Camp Hillfort, Nether Worton, #Oxfordshire. It's a univallate Iron Age Hillfort sitting on a promontory ridge and commands great views of the landscape all around.
@patrick-mcc.bsky.socialThe giant earth ripples of Hambledon Hill last Sunday. Lay in the wind-shade on top, ate lunch and watched kites, buzzards and crows against the blue, isolated cirrus skeins drifting eastward high over Blackmore Vale βΊοΈ

@mattpope.bsky.socialStonea, Cambridgeshire, a Fenland Iron Age enclosure or Britain's lowest 'Hillfort'. Later contained a Roman settlement with a multi-story tower that must have dominated the entire landscape for miles. 1/3

@suegreaney.bsky.socialWalked the ramparts of enormous Uley Bury hillfort, Gloucestershire, at the weekend. Lovely views and a whole series of hollow ways in the area - perhaps some date back to the Iron Age? #HillfortsWednesday
@durotrigesdig.bsky.socialThe form of Milber Down Iron Age hillfort in #Devon can today be difficult to appreciate, with a road cutting through it and one half covered by trees

@mark-walters.bsky.socialThe coastal promontory #hillfort at Dinas Gynfor, Anglesey. The landward defences of limestone blocks are largely hidden in bracken but can be seen tracing a line on the right in the 2nd photo. Lola the collie stands in the entrance. The lidar shows the rampart well + view from E #HillfortsWednesday

@drtobydriver.bsky.socialThe looming silhouette of Darren Camp hillfort in Ceredigion for #HillfortsWednesday, plus some sheep π
Excavations by the Early Mines Research Group revealed that the hillfort ditches cut through lead & copper ore seams, on a hill summit rich in mining wealth.

@kpw1453.bsky.socialA distant view of Hambledon Hill - an Iron Age hill fort, near Blandford Forum in Dorset. πΈ My own. #HillfortsWednesday #HambledonHill #Dorset
@jessstilllife.bsky.socialThe double stone ramparts of White Tor Neolithic hill enclosure. An atmospheric place. My daughter immediately climbed to the top of the large central rock and I wondered, how many Neolithic and Bronze Age children did exactly that, thousands of years ago?
#HillfortsWednesday
@jessstilllife.bsky.socialThe mighty Neolithic fortified hill enclosure of White Tor, Dartmoor. Two huge granite rubble ramparts, structures and cairns, all covered in infinitely slow growing white lichen, built up against the existing castle like black rocks that jut out of the tor. Stunning 360 views.

@durotrigesdig.bsky.socialBisected by road and half covered in trees, the multivallate Iron Age hillfort of Milber Down #Devon can be difficult to fully appreciate on the ground
Here it is seen from the air
