Youre talking bollocks here FW.

You have a point but just 'cause some one wrote something in stone in the 10th century or whatever doesn't mean it's necessarilly true or accurate.

Adding hundreds of sites to your collection doesn't automatically qualify you for the answers. I am reminded of the story of a teacher who said he had 10 years experience, when in fact he'd repeated 1 year's experience 10 times.

Your comments are about hill forts being places of battles, death, distruction etc is actually based on eveidence of upheavals at that time but ultimately you cannot say if any particular fort had a battle. It's like historians saying in 1000 year's time that in the 1970s there were thousands of ICBMs so there must have been lots of nuclear wars.

As for your comment about using quotes, if you don't like that them don't turn to symapthy emails we haven;t seen to back your argument.

Yoam from Lye aya??
