Yes, used as a claim to the land but I also believe the 'fear factor', as discussed earlier, would have been important. The 'watchful eye' in the barrow as I think Tiompan put it. Certainly hillforts are defensive structures but they may have been more about deterrent, a warding off, rather than showing a willingness to engage in conflict?
