A splendid morning at the #Durotriges26 open day @durotrigesdig.bsky.social! Was on the first tour & all the presentations were top-class. 👏 Many thanks to everyone there. 🙌 Nicely finished off with fish & chips and a half-pint* of Duropolis Rising. *I was driving 😇
Dudsbury Iron Age hillfort in Dorset is not *that* impressive (although Miles @durotrigesdig.bsky.social may disagree!). But there’s a lovely walk you can do along Stour Valley Way and it was a glorious day. 🌞 #HillfortsWednesday

Wittenham Clumps near Didcot on a glorious morning last Saturday. 😍 The Iron Age earthworks of Dyke Hills are nearby too. There's also the lovely St Peter's Church in Little Wittenham and Day's Lock on the Thames. And, upstream, the confluence with the River Thame (sic). 🤯 #HillfortsWednesday
Hello Alice @profaliceroberts.bsky.social 👋 I'm enjoying the latest series of Digging For Britain, as always! Please forgive me if you've answered this umpteen times already, but could you possibly tell me where these scenic sequences on a #hillfort were filmed, please?
John would have loved this. I can't be there - prior commitments - but I'm glad it will be busy

Quarley Hill in Hampshire has an Iron Age univallate hillfort. A rather cloudy Sunday morning last w/e. But on a fine day *would* provide lovely sunny views. 😁 There's a layby and footpath to the south, but the actual hillfort is on private land. #RightToRoam anyone? #HillfortsWednesday
melancholic, wistful, lovely
