Very good fairly short programme. Bettany Hughes doing an excellent job of describing a massive IA fortress or 'Britain's first town in the sky'. I've not yet visited Maiden Castle - didn't realise it had an extension added and was originally circular. Interesting point about bronze, having been a form of currency, had run out - leaving people feeling insecure and in need of a place of safety.
Fabulous aerial shots taken by an 'octocopter'.


We talk about the massive undertaking the building of Silbury Hill was, but Maiden Castle with all the sculpturing, banks and ditches must have taken a few lifetimes as well surely.
