Felday submitted by Andy B : This hillfort is not easy to discerne, it appears to cover most of the hilltop. I will return in the winter once the undergrowth has died down but in the meantime here's a taster of the wildwood surrounding it. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Large univallate Iron Age Hillfort in Surrey. C-shaped bank and external ditch to the west, that cuts off an area of the hilltop of approx 7 hectares.

Inner bank 12m wide, 1m high and ditch 5m wide and 0.5m deep. More details here.

Dance and archaeology performance and discussion, Tue, 18 Jul 1:30 by Andy B on Thursday, 22 June 2023
(User Info | Send a Message)
Dance and archaeology performance and discussion - Holmbury Hill, Tue, 18 Jul 1:30 PM

Building on 10 years of work with dance in museums and her 'Dancing in Caves' project, Surrey-based choreographer Katie Green has started researching a new dance and archaeology project with support from the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Over the summer, she will be working with archaeologists, a film-maker, writer, composer and group of dancers in two sites in Dorset and Surrey, particularly exploring the ways that archaeological artefacts and sites can yield new information about humans' relationship with the land through time, and to consider ways of bringing this to life imaginatively through dance, story-telling and music.

On the 18th July, you are warmly invited to a sharing of work-in-progress and new ideas from 1.30-4pm, including:

- a guided walk up to Holmbury Hill, the site of an Iron Age hillfort, and then back to Holmbury St Mary Village Hall, with a talk at the summit from archaeologist Judie English

- short performances of new movement ideas along the walk

- an opportunity for refreshments and discussion back at the hall, a chance to feed back and inform future research.

This is a free event, open to everyone who enjoys dance, archaeology and walking in the local landscape!

Holmbury St Mary Village Hall, Felday Glade, Holmbury St Mary, Surrey, RH5 6PG

More information and what to bring:

- Please note this is an informal sharing of research in the very early stages, so the schedule and content of our session on the 18th July may be subject to change. We will try to update this event page/message attendees nearer the time with further details.

- The main part of the event will happen between 1.30pm and 4pm, but you are welcome to arrive from 1pm and to stay until 4.30pm to have more time for discussion if you wish.

- Meet at Holmbury St Mary Village Hall, then it will take about 20-25 minutes to walk to the summit of Holmbury Hill, and the journey back down again is generally faster, but we will punctuate it with performance extracts along the way.

- It's a moderate climb, so wear suitable footwear and come prepared for the weather. You may also choose to bring along a camping chair, cushion or blanket to use when watching our short performance extracts, but note that we don't plan to make any of these sections very long, so this is optional. If you have any questions about accessing the site, do let us know katie@madebykatiegreen.co.uk It is a step-free route, but some parts of the path become narrow or quite steep, and can be muddy in wet weather.

- There is a car park directly outside the Hall which you are welcome to use https://www.holmburystmaryvillagehall.org/ but please park considerately as this car park is in regular use by people walking up to Holmbury Hill.

Tue, 18 Jul 1:30 PM

Duration of event: 2 hours 30 mins

Capacity for this event is limited, so please book your place in advance using the Eventbrite link, and let us know as soon as you can if your plans change and you are not able to make it.
