For the latest info on project results and volunteering opportunities please visit www.southcadbury.org. uk. In the meantime 'Cadbury Castle: The Hillfort and its Landscapes', appeared from The History Press on September 2008. It deals with the results of archaeological work around the hillfort from 1992 to 2007, integrating it with the data from Leslie Alcock's famous excavations (1966-70). Exciting new discoveries include the first bronze Age shield found during an excavation in north west Europe and the most intact Bronze Age metalworking area in Britain. There are also important discussions of Iron Age pits and the special deposits in them, and of the Roman military assault at the time of the Claudian invasion of 43/44AD. |
