Hidden Tricks Ancient Engineers Used in Hillforts

(A quick reminder that the places we visit are normally always scheduled monuments and protected. The shovel is of course purely to highlight the digging of a hillfort by Iron Age people and not in anyway intended to be any form of metal detecting).

I've recently delved into how exactly Iron Age People built Hillforts. This is a little video on what I learnt which i thought I would share with you!
