Rulebritannia visited on 10th Apr 2013 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 4 The morning mist engulfed the fort and when I ascended the ramparts I could see very little. However out of the mist I saw horses and a number of sheep. The livestock gave me a feeling of life with no humans to keep them.

Danebury Ring
Danebury Ring submitted by Jimit : Danebury Hill Fort - the main entrance defensive works. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Danebury is in the care of Hampshire County Council and is easily accessed via signposted footpaths. The hilltop was defended in the 6th century BC with a massive rampart, broken by two gates and divided into two halves by a road in the interior.

The hillfort was excavated by Professor Barry Cunliffe between 1969 and 1988 and is one of the best-studied sites of the British Iron Age. Many of the finds are to be found in the nearby Andover Museum of the Iron Age.

Note: Copterdrones visit (and fly over) Danebury (below) and Hambledon Hill - new videos.

Re: Danebury Hillfort New Iron Age King's Coin found by AngieLake on Wednesday, 18 October 2023
(User Info | Send a Message)
Article online today with excellent aerial photo and artist's reconstruction of Danebury Hillfort:

www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-12644285/A-new-British-King-Gold-coin-discovered-Hampshire-stamped-Esunertos-previously-unrecorded-Iron-Age-ruler.html
"British history may have been rewritten, following the discovery of a coin stamped with the name of a forgotten Iron Age ruler.

The coin was found by a metal detectorist in a field in Hampshire and is stamped with the name 'Esunertos'.

Experts suggest Esunertos may have ruled as King from Danebury Fort, and have called the find 'one of the outstanding discoveries of recent decades'."

Things in Process: Biographies of British Iron Age Pits - Jody Joy

It is easy to appreciate how object biography can stimulate gripping stories and personal perspectives on historical events making it a useful narrative device in popular literature. Following the biographies of objects is popular also in academic research but for slightly different reasons. As Nanouschka Burström has recently suggested, it is ‘methodologically useful’ and a tool ‘that is good to think with’, but as we shall see, its apparent simplicity may also prove its downfall in academic studies because it is too often applied uncritically.

As an archaeologist specialising in the European Iron Age, the biographical approach to objects has proven to be a fruitful avenue of research but with a very specific set of problems. Owing to the fact that for the most part we lack a written history and we cannot speak to the people who made the artefacts we study, it is not possible to produce the full object biographies that we often encounter in the anthropological or historical literature. At best we can examine the context of production and deposition in detail and we construct ‘the life in between’ using techniques such as the analysis of use-wear but by constructing object biographies in this way, working from two fixed points, there is a danger that they may be pre-determined or fixed by the chosen method of study.

Probably because biographical approaches are seen to be useful but have also proven to be problematic there have been a number of recent attempts to re-work Kopytoff’s notion of object biography including, ‘objects as citations’ and the ‘biographies of assemblages’, but the focus of this paper will be the notion of ‘objects as itineraries’ where the main stages of object lives can be listed rather like a travel itinerary.

This idea will be critically examined using the case study of British Iron Age grain storage pits and a new conception of the biography of objects, which proposes following the lives of objects that can be seen to be always in the process of becoming something else will be presented.

Time Team at Danebury by Andy B on Monday, 11 February 2008
(User Info | Send a Message)
TV'S best known archaeologists met up with one of the academic world's most respected archeological figures for a unique programme to be broadcast later this year - and it all happened in and around Andover.

Channel 4's Time Team are best known for their popularising of archaeological excavations, often done against the clock while Oxford University Professor Sir Barry Cunliffe is renowned for his painstaking professionalism returning to sites for lengthy examinations over a course of years.

Under normal circumstances their paths wouldn't cross but in a special programme Time Team's Tony Robinson is seen interviewing Sir Barry at Danebury.

Filming also took place at Andover's Museum of the Iron Age on a Sunday, members of Andover's museum committee were told.

Museum curator Jenny Stevens, said: "You never know quite what will be broadcast when people come and film. It may turn out we will be on for half a minute but hopefully it will remind people that we are here."

Re: Danebury Attacked? by Anonymous on Thursday, 23 November 2006
I first discovered the rings as a lad in 1967. I started an apprenticeship as an electrician working at middle wallop army base.When I first came across them I was fascinated and still am. I visit as often as possible. I find the site to be tranquil and peaceful. When I have things to think about I go to the rings and relax for an hour and this usually does the trick.I will continue to visit and always look forward to it.

am I right in thinking that this hillfort was attacked at somepoint? If so, was it squabbling in the Iron Age, or Roman intervention?

Rampart work closes Iron Age fort by Anonymous on Thursday, 15 December 2005
Parts of an Iron Age hillfort are to be closed to the public while essential repair work is carried out.
About £40,000 is to be spent repairing badly eroded ramparts at Danebury Hillfort near Stockbridge, Hampshire.

Parts of the fort, which sees between 70,000 to 100,000 visitors a year, will be temporarily closed as the four months of work is carried out.

The overall site will still remain open and the repairs are expected to be completed by mid-March.

The work will see steps replaced as well as the repairs to the ramparts, which have become badly worn because of the number of visitors to the site.

Re: Danebury by Anonymous on Sunday, 16 October 2005
We used to play there when we were kids, back in the 1940's, swinging from the ramparts on a knotted rope suspended from the branch of a beech tree.
Little did we know about what lay hidden under the 2000 years of leaf mould.
The quiteness was quite eerie to us youngsters and the surrounding view spectacular.
I always try and visit Danebury when I come back to the UK. Really feels like coming home.

Re: Danebury by Vicky on Thursday, 27 May 2004

From The Andover Advertiser Online 27/05/2004:

DANEBURY Hill is soon to welcome 80 new sheep to graze the land, keeping back rank grass scrub growth which could threaten the Hill Fort and rare downland flowers.

The 85 acre site is home to an Iron Age Hill Fort dating back to 550BC and an area of Special Scientific Interest due to the rare flowers such as burnt tip orchid and frog orchid which grow there.

Hampshire County Council, which owns the site, has already cleared the trees from the ramparts of the fort, and is now importing 80 sheep from the Isle of Man to prevent further scrub encroachment to protect the archaeology and enhance the wildlife.

Distinctive in colour, with a light brown fleece and chocolate brown face and legs, the Manx Loghtan sheep are best suited for the job as they are able to negotiate the steep ramparts better than cattle and are well adapted for the forage available.

A similar breed is likely to have grazed at Danebury Hill in Iron Age times.

Danebury Hill is visited by over 100,000 people each year, and was extensively archaeologically excavated in the 1980s.

Tomorrow, 29 May, the Hill Fort will be hosting a Rampart Tramp. The free guided walk will enlighten visitors about the fort's fascinating and grisly history with guests from the Brigantia Iron Age Re-enactment Society revealing how the Iron Age residents of Danebury really lived.

The Rampart Tramp begins at 1pm, and will meet at the top car park at Danebury.

The county council's executive member for environment, Councillor Keith Estlin, said: "Danebury Hill Fort is an important and unique part of Hampshire's history and I am delighted to see that its conservation is being managed with such traditional and environmentally sound methods."

The county council's executive member for recereation and heritage, Councillor John Waddington said: "Walks like these provide an excellent opportunity for people to learn more about Hampshire's history as well as the chance to make the most of our beautiful and varied landscape."

The Hampshire Grazing Project is a joint initiative between Hampshire County Council, The Environment Agency and English Nature that works to encourage appropriate grazing of conservation sites throughout the county.

Re: Danebury by Anonymous on Wednesday, 31 March 2004
I visited Danebury a couple of summers back, mainly because I kept seeing the signs for it as I shot past on the A303. It's a lovely place to visit on a summer's evening, and truly massive. It commands good views over the surrounding countryside (hence why they built it there), and the defenses are collusal (though watch out if the ramparts are damp, the chalk is very slippy). Good parking and toilets onsite mean it's a pleasure, rather than a chore to visit. Lee 88template.co.uk

Re: Danebury by Anonymous on Thursday, 12 June 2003
Danebury Archive Released online

The ADS is pleased to announce that the Danebury Archive is now available online. Danebury is one of the best-known excavations of an Iron Age Hill Fort in the United Kingdom. The preparation of the archive
has been carried out as part of the ARENA (Archaeological Records of Europe: Networked Access) project. A project supported by the European Union through the Culture 2000 programme.

The excavation was directed by Prof Barry Cunliffe who commented in 1984 that "a data-set of the kind derived from Danebury will continue to be reworked by students for the foreseeable future asking new and increasingly sophisticated questions". That opportunity is now made
possible through online resources, making Danebury accessible tostudents and researchers from around the world. Through the Danebury online archive it is possible to access four key publications (CBA Research Reports series) and to download databases and images from the
site archive.

You can visit the archive at the ADS catalogue at:

Re: Danebury by Anonymous on Tuesday, 20 May 2003
I've been a couple of times and, although the trees around it are rather splendid, they give a false view of the whole. Ideally, a clear uninterrupted view all around, like at Maiden Castle, would give a more realistic feel.
I'm a great lover of trees and woodland, but there are places where it would be nice to try and connect with the original inhabitants. Or at least get the feel of a similar outlook to the one they had.
