#HillfortsWednesday Ringforts are so bizarrely circular they almost don't seem real to me...
I think this one shows what I mean... Chûn Castle near Penzance in #Cornwall

In the drought of 1976 we had an amazing crop of aerial photographs of archaeological sites. Given the number of comparisons being drawn between 1976 and this year, are we getting similar images?

Woden Law hillfort in SE Scotland, showing the complex set of earthwork defences. It lies very close to a Roman road, with Roman camps less than 2km away

Life goals is to one day have the skill (and resources) to take shots like these. For now I'll have to settle for landlubber pics of grassy ditches
