Gotta love Woodbury hillfort πŸ‘

Indeed!

Oh, a follow-up question, if I may.

Is the small basin depression you can see in my photo, and in your video at 3:25 (bottom centre), the burial site that you and Neil mentioned for the horse, dog and human remains?

Lying 6km north of Dorchester, it is one of Dorset’s less well known Iron Age hillforts

Did someone say it's #HillfortsWednesday again? 🀩

Here's Blewburton #IronAge Hillfort in south Oxfordshire in glorious sunshine this past Sunday.

Also check out this wonderful video by @hedleythorne.bsky.social which inspired my visit:

Had a lovely visit this beautiful morning. Ended up parking in a quiet spot in Aston Turrold and walking in from the opposite direction as you.

Spotted this chap filming himself and blethering away into his camera on Blewburton Hill. I suspect he might be another YouTuber! πŸ˜±πŸ˜‰

A lovely video from you two, together with the 'mystery map provider'. πŸ˜†

Nice to see how close you were to Wittenham Clumps which I enjoyed visiting last month.

Boring practical question, Hedley: where did you park for your walk up Blewburton Hillfort?

It's the release of 'Talking Sense'!

How can an instrumental 'talk sense'? Answers on the back of a spaceship. πŸ‘½

Thank you. Have fun!

Fingers crossed I can come along again on the open day and see what you've found. πŸ‘€

Woo-hoo!

May your season be full of fun archaeological surprises!

P.S. probably a boring/dumb question, but how do you determine where to dig new trenches?

'Delayed Affective Presence' πŸ€”

A guitar instrumental that was channelled from some mysterious realm. 🎼🎸πŸ₯²πŸ˜‰

Or perhaps last summer's Hebridean travels to #Islay, #Jura and #Colonsay. 😍

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). 🀯

Beautiful illustration. 😍 Thanks for sharing it.

Such attention to detail. Zooming in, good to know that dogs wore collars even back then. πŸ€”

Hello Alice @profaliceroberts.bsky.social πŸ‘‹

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

Wonderful photos, thank you. 😍

I was an undergraduate and then postgraduate student at the University of Glasgow in the 1980s, and I'd love to be able to climb to the top of the tower one day.

Is that ever possible, do you know?

Blimey!

Glad I didn't stop beside the estate as I drove past on the way to Fosbury Camp hillfort earlier this year.

Thanks for the update that you're ok, Paul, and look forward to watching your video. πŸ™Œ

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.
