Paul Whitewick | How We Misunderstood HILLFORTS @pwhitewick | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 8 hours ago
Go watch a deeper dive on Hod and Hambledon here with @walkingthewyrd
This week we take an in-depth look at a handful of Hillforts here in southern England. We start with a misguided perception of their use and try to unravel what their purpose was. Is there a unifying feature, something they all have in common. It wasn't that easy!

Usual notices:
1. We are not historians. We enjoy researching and learning, and with that we enjoy sharing our journeys with you. That said, sources for information often listed below with credits.
2. Errors. Whilst we make every attempt to not include any errors, research, and piecing stories together from dozens of sources sometimes leads to one or two. I will note here if any are found:
A: To convey the point made in the second paragraph. We really do scratch the surface here. There are thousands of Hillfort like structures that will again hold a different tale.
