Let's spice up and make it more European! I present you the 'Hรผnenburg' near Watenstedt in Lower Saxony, Northern Germany. This beautiful Hillfort was used from the Bronze Age (starting 1100 BC), through the Iron Age until the Early Medieval Ages. 1/2

It is and so here is the Iron Age Segsbury Camp from 400ft up, resplendent in yellow yesterday. In the background is Devil's Punchbowl and to the left is The Ridgeway. (HedleyThorne.com - prints and wood framed pictures available)

A well-trodden pathway along the ancient Ridgeway, the Iron Age hillfort of Ivinghoe Beacon rising beyond. In use since Bronze Age times, it was an ancient signal point. Most recently, we watched torches being lit at the summit for the 70th jubilee

Rubers Law in the Scottish Borders is a distinctive hillfort composed of an upper citadel and lower terrace with a large outer enclosure. Bonchester Hill and Eildon Hill North (and probably more!) are easily visible from the summit. skfb.ly/oHoqU

Nairnshireโ€™s Castle Findlay (not a castle!). A small oval hill fort. Partly vitrified with clearly visible outworks. Never excavated so its stories and dates remain to be discovered. Though small, it would have been an imposing presence above the Moray Firth.
