Hascombe Hill (Promontory Fort) — Miscellaneous

This pleasingly wooded promontory fort is, according to Surrey Archaeological Society,"a roughly trapezoidal enclosure with the long axis lying north-east/south-west. The position of the earthworks is governed by the shape of the end of the ridge except where their north-eastern leg cuts perpendicularly across the length of the ridge. This north-eastern leg of the ramparts contains the entrance which is set off-centre towards the north-west, and has short out-turned banks on either side". Details of a 2008/2009 survey undertaken by the Society can be seen online at: https://www.surreyarchaeology.org.uk/content/hascombe-hillfort-survey Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

Stanwell Cursus — Links

Robert Grant's stats blog: citizen science, R and the Heathrow Cursus A blog post I made where I visit the cursus (Feb 2016) and elastic-band my phone to a floor sweeper / magic mop and then bodge together a bit of programming (open source, therefore free) to give a fine measure of the surface of the cursus. A slow way of mapping endangered surfaces, but accessible to all. Comments (1)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
