#HillfortsWednesday 2nd tweet about #hillfort Ajdovscina, #Slovenia and final for today (exhausted). On top of the hill, we have the main hillfort. The light blue marked hillfort is harder to see, but its there. I am not sure about that extension - need to see it on the ground.
Thinking about future outings, so I've had a quick look in the #TamarValley and it seems there's plenty to keep me busy - this is just a small section (nr Milton Abbot) for #HillfortsWednesday. Fancied a bit of straight up #cartography this time, so this is all in #QGIS.
We have a trio of Paul Nash paintings for #HillFortsWednesday. Left: 'Wood on the Downs' (Ivinghoe Beacon), oil on canvas, 1930. Right top: 'Maiden Castle', watercolour, red chalk and pencil on paper, early 1940s, and underneath, 'Maiden Castle', no date/materials given.
(5/7) The sequence also reveals the #hillfort abandonment in the 1st c. BC. Was the #romanarmy involved in this process? Since 2017 we have been studying some #romancamps located nearby, but the connection between them and the Late Iron Age site was unclear #HillfortsWednesday
Day 23 of my Wiltshire tour by photo - this is the magnificent hillfort of Bratton Castle, with the Westbury White Horse craved into the hillside. From this angle you can really see the detail of the ramparts wrapped around the hill #hiddenwiltshire #HillfortsWednesday
'It may indeed be likened to an enormous many-limbed organism of an antediluvian time - partaking of the cephalopod in shape - lying lifeless, and covered with a thin green cloth, which hides its substance, while revealing its contour.'

Some nice pictures of soil marks of the hillfort in Chruścin by Wiesław Stępień. Taken before A2 Motorway was build. The chronology of the hillfort is unknown. It wasn't excavated yet. Probably early Iron Age or early Middle Ages.

More images from the origian Danbury artwork for #HillfortWednesday this time with fewer bell pits and more conflict 🤷🏻♂️
One of my favourite paintings of a #hillfort is by one of my favourite artists: Mount Caburn (1935) by #EricRavilious – a view of #EastSussex (which, minus the horse-drawn ploughs, is as just as familiar today) that #Ravilious had from his studio

It's #HillfortsWednesday (yay!) and to celebrate another form of #IronAge monumental loveliness here's the slight 0.3ha #Bagley #hillslope enclosure #Somerset emerging in very low sunlight @ArchaeologyENPA @ExmoorNP photo: (c) @HistoricEngland NMR 15856/13
A wonderful hillfort in Wiltshire. Oldbury Castle. A bronze age enclosure that had been extended and then developed into a hill fort. The views from here are stunning and the chalk undulations below the earthworks & monument are a treat for artists to paint. #HillfortsWednesday

'Cause of my rumps, my rumps my rumps my rumps. My lovely, lumpy rumps.
Another #HillfortsWednesday spotlight goes to an aptly named cliff-castle in Cornwall, The Rumps. Glorious on a good day, but imagine inhabiting this promontory during bad weather!

Reconstruction of the probably Pictish outpost of Dundurn, Perthshire, by Peter Dennis, and the site today. Perhaps a key stronghold of the Pictish kingdom of Atholl, it was torched in 682. #HillfortsWednesday
For a final look at #CadburyCastle hillfort #Somerset on #HillfortsWednesday here's the original reconstruction of the 'Arthurian period' SW gate from #LeslieAlcock in 1975, an update by #PeterDennis in 2008 and the area of the gate itself in 2018
