Life and Death in the Iron Age
Tue 19 July 14.00–16.00
A guided walk to the Iron Age Hill fort of Cherry Hill, to include an examination of the defences and post iron age landuse.
The Iron Age fort of Cherry Hill is unique in the region in that it shows compelling evidence for the original fort having been destroyed in a violent and systematic manner. A new fort was later constructed on the site giving archaeologists a rare insight into an episode of instability and warfare in a time which was largely thought to be, in the main, peaceful.
The walk will be approximately 3.5km in length and the path is uneven and steep in places, a reasonable level of fitness is required.
Dogs are welcome on short leads.
Free. Booking necessary.
Location: Cherry Hill Camp, Fownhope. Fownhope is a large village on the B4224. For joining instructions please pre-book.
