Traprain Law. The image shows the view across a cereal field to the rocky and grassy mount of Traprain Law. There's the start of a stone wall and a tree on the left of the frame in the foreground. The scene is mainly in sunlight, with some clouds in the sky.

Plus, we still got some great views out of it, even if it was very windy and cold up at the top.

The city was establised on the eastern bank of the Severn, overlooked by the Wrekin in the area of the Cornovii
Its unclear whether the first encounters with the tribe were violent or comparitively peaceful, either way the Romans built temporary forts on either side of the river.

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?

Excavations of the #Brusselstown Ring in the #Wicklow Mountains reveal the #hillfort was the largest nucleated settlement (600+ houses) in prehistoric #Ireland & Britain.
Dating from c.1200 BCE, this challenges the theory that the Vikings built Ireland's first towns.
