The Unfinished Hillfort, Ladle Hill, Old Burghclere, Hampshire

Between 800BC and the 1st Century AD, some of the most magnificent landscaping construction projects were taking place as the Iron Age tribes of the British Isles were fortifying their hill top settlements. Welcome to Ladle Hill in North Hampshire as I journey through pre history, going back over 3000 years to explore this rare example of an unfinished Hillfort.

Beautiful location overlooking Hampshire & Berkshire. Sat there one day in silence and 2 deer simply walked passed us.

It's lovely isn't? But hostile when the winds blowing.

Really enjoyable explore. Lots of realistic lines of enquiry and whilst a lot is identifiable there are many mysteries to solve. Excellent quality film.

[@PASTFINDERexploring]

Cheers. Many mysteries that are unlikely to be solved anytime soon.

Another documentary masterpiece from you. Particularly liked the way you introduced the subject. Very clever.

I love Ladle Hill on a sunny afternoon! And it will be even better now I know more of the history. Great video.

@@PASTFINDERexploring I also like the fact you crossed the trackbed of the DN&SR, it was a delightful nod to another era, thousands of years from the Bronze and Iron Ages. A fascinating railway and I'm looking forward to the next episode.
