This title brings alive the hillforts of Cardigan Bay - the people who built and occupied them, how and why they were constructed, and what survives, both in terms of visible remains and the artefacts that have been unearthed. Richly illustrated with the authors photographs from land, sea and air, and his many reconstruction drawings, the book examines these fascinating earthworks in light of what we know about the Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Roman society. Patterns of daily life, of ritual and ceremony, of domestic and military use, and building arrangements, are all described, as well as the activities that might have occurred during the construction of a hillfort. The book includes a gazetteer of hillforts that can be visited in Ceredigion, including access details.… (plus d'informations)

Foreword.
Hillforts in Britain are so numerous and visible that they have long attracted the attention of antiquarians and archaeologists.

This incredible discovery urges us to think differently about Cadair Idris in prehistory and suggests that parts of the route of the modern path up to Llyn Cau may well date back to prehistoric times.
