Abstract
Hillforts are the most impressive field legacy from the Iron Age across many areas of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Eire. Although precision is not possible, it is likely that there are over 4000 in Ireland and Britain. Any academic or popular account of later prehistory from c. 1000 BC has to include a discussion of hillforts as the dominant monument type: their forms and architecture, possible functions, relationships with their setting and archaeological surroundings. Over recent years within Iron Age studies the importance of 'regionalisation' has emerged again as an important theme and one which requires information and data to be available at both the local level and at regional and inter-regional scales. There is no integrated system that will provide this information for hillforts, although a wide variety of sources exist in digital and paper form. These sources however are diverse, often difficult to access, and hard to integrate to produce wider interpretations and new research questions, since all previous syntheses have generally been at 'national' (i.e. Ireland, England) scales. Furthermore, most of the ways in which these sites are usually described are based on upstanding examples, but it is now essential to incorporate many ploughed-down remains, only visible as cropmarks, into understandings of these sites.
This project will create an online interactive database that will include standardised information on all hillforts in the UK and Eire and enable interrogation and analysis at a range of scales from an individual hillfort to the whole collection. The database will be linked to Google Earth/Maps so that the locations of hillforts can be seen within their landscape contexts. At the close of the project, the data file will be available for re-use in a variety of software. The information held will be a compilation of all existing sources, re-structured to provide maximum achievable consistency and the ability to search all hillforts, evaluating and comparing them on meaningful characteristics such as number and configuration of ramparts, ditches and entrances. Evaluation, analysis and interpretation will take place at local, regional and inter-regional scales and the outcomes will be a paper atlas of hillforts, where cartographic presentation will be matched by succinct analytical texts. These will include extensive discussion on the structuring of the data, including consideration of what is and is not a hillfort and why, together with the interpretation of analyses and patterns established at the different scales and visualised through a series of maps and plans. The results will feed significantly into discussions of regionality and how hillforts fit with other data and interpretations. This work will be mirrored by a critical re-assessment of the dating evidence for these sites, including isotopic and other scientific determinations, numismatic and artefactual data, and documentary sources: these monuments are used in both the first millennia BC and AD, and evaluation of the chronological range of these sites at a variety of scales will allow closer readings of patterns through time, to match the spatial focus highlighted above. The analysis of this set of sites across the whole of Britain and Ireland - something not previously-attempted - will generate new configurations of information on similarities and differences amongst sites that will challenge prevailing views.
Hillforts are of great interest to a large range of audiences, sometimes just for their intrinsic archaeological value but often as part of wider landscape, historical and environmental interests. Further to encourage the breadth of this participation, the database will be configured as a hillfort-wiki, capable of accepting user-generated content so that additional text and images can be attached to any hillfort, separately from the core data generated by the project,

Planned Impact
A wide range of users outside the academic community will benefit from this research. The results will be fed back into the publicly-accessible national monuments records of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Eire, so that they will all have an enhanced resource to make available to their wide range of clients. This will include more information than present systems contain and be more useable for research-type queries based on characteristics of the monuments. All of these record systems are widely consulted for a range of reasons from development control and related interests within the planning system through to public interest; and the data researched, calibrated and standardized during this project would be a core part of that resource. This enhancement of the resource also links with the private and professional heritage sectors, including archaeological consultants and contractors, who use these resources for desk-based assessments and other purposes in the applied world of 'polluter-pays' archaeology. The integration of 'cropmark' data from the lowland arable zones will represent a particular enhancement to be offered by this project. The aim is to make the final data available as a file that can be re-used within a range of software and, therefore, be as widely accessible as possible.
Policy makers, for example state heritage organizations, National Trusts, National Parks and local authorities, will be interested in this resource especially because it will include (separately and identifiably) user generated content, i.e. information from various specialists and input by the general public. With the current interest in public participation in heritage and landscape management this will provide an important source for opinions concerning hillforts and their place in peoples' lives and communities.
Hillforts of various forms are an international phenomenon occurring over large areas of Europe from the Iberian peninsular to east-central Europe. Britain and Ireland however possess one of the longest- and best-studied data-sets, and some of the most innovative approaches to this suite of sites, so that the standardisation that this portal will offer will be international in its significance. Beneficiaries of this research would include the Iron Age academic archaeological and heritage communities from Spain and Portugal eastwards, for all of whom sites equivalent to insular hillforts are an important key to the comprehension of the regional Iron Ages.
In many areas of rural Britain and Ireland, tourism and associated recreation for example in the form of hill-walking helps underpin local economies. There are numerous cases from the south coast of England to the northern Highlands and west to the Dingle peninsula, of conspicuous or reasonably-preserved hill-forts being targets for such recreational use. By making accessible information on these sites, it is hoped that this project may simultaneously encourage responsible tourism and the sustainability of these key monuments whilst also disseminating information about them that helps to distributes visits to them around more examples, thereby deflecting potential damage from footfall at some 'honeypot' sites, while also encouraging enjoyment and educational use of these important monuments.

Description | Drawing on a wide variety of published and online resources and archives, and supplemented by limited ground-truthing of the field evidence, the project team has collected data on some 4147 individual sites considered to be certain or probable hillforts. This exercise has involved the team in standardising information produced by the application of a range of different recording methods and schemes of description across five countries (Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, England and Scotland) which all have somewhat divergent systems of data recording and structuring, hindering the identification of broader-scale comparisons and patterning in the.characteristics of these sites. A major effort has gone into building a complex database to enable the project team to capture the extreme diversity apparent in these sites from the Northern Isles of Scotland and the Atlantic coastlands of Ireland south to the hinterland of the English Channel and efforts are continuing to identify, characterize, map and evaluate a wide range of the characteristics of such sites across Britain and Ireland. A first tranche of these were presented at a public conference held in Edinburgh in June 2017 and shall also be incorporated into a paper Atlas which is now being assembled; this is due for delivery to Edinburgh University Press in March 2019. Overall, the Project team has been able to produce new interpretations of the spatial distributions of hillforts based on a range of their key characteristics in ways which have not previously been possible, including consideration of the changes to their configurations through time. These outcomes will modify perspectives on hillforts which have largely been considered as a set across Britain and Ireland in terms of their current appearance and form, by taking into consideration their evolution through time (where this is known). The Atlas cartography (increasingly now available as a component of the online Atlas) will replace maps for Britain that in large measure still depend on 1960s data made available through the Ordnance Survey, and now demonstrate locally significant distributions of this category of monuments in areas of eastern Britain where the essence of the evidence is conserved as cropmark archaeology (which has here been integrated into our database) and a more widespread scatter of sites in such topographic settings within the zone of likely destruction of archaeological sites as upstanding monuments. Elsewhere, at least locally, the application of standard thresholds in terms of areal extent, scale of enclosure and topographic setting for the acceptance of sites as hillforts has produced moderate declines in the number of retained sites, notably in some western regions (e.g. Cornwall, Pembrokeshire). For the first time, at least for larger size cohorts (over 1ha in extent; a residual problem concerns the 60k-strong series of raths and ringworks in Ireland) it is now possible to map Irish distributions alongside those for the British mainland, including juxtaposing evidence for certain categories of sites (notably coastal promontory forts) traditionally considered entirely separately in different archaeological traditions. While certain special characteristics of limited number of hillforts (e.g. the presence of guard chambers in their entrance-works) have long been mapped and discussed as a set, the data assembled by the Project Team means that many more attributes of these sites (e.g. styles of enclosure architecture and details thereof) can now be mapped and examined as sets of evidence, This aspect will be taken forward in the forthcoming paper Atlas. We were also able to initiate and in some measure directly support a successful and innovative Citizen Science campaign that connected large numbers of the general public with hillforts in a critical way by facilitating them to submit data which has enriched the project and which has contributed to allowing certain amateur groups further to develop their interests in hillforts, to the extent of seeking additional funds from other sources (e.g. Heritage Lottery Fund) to take forward research on local series of such sites. We are also in course of further developing a webmapping application that will enable the project to make its complex dataset freely available via Oxford University to a range of users from the general public to specialist researchers. This application is designed to enable such users in future to build queries, to export data, and to interact spatially with hillfort information contained in maps and satellite imagery. We have licensed this application via Creative Commons. The Project organised a very successful conference in collaboration with the Department for Continuing Education of Oxford University in late 2015 which brought together the general public and hillfort experts to discuss the latest findings and ideas on a variety of topics concerning hillforts including their dating and distribution. A further conference was held in Edinburgh University on 23-25 June 2017 which revisited and extended the 2015 themes through presentations and extended discussion sessions. The papers from it have been ingathered for publication with British Archaeological Reports (forthcoming). |
Exploitation Route | There are numerous ways in which the results of this project can be taken forward - this was always one of the intentions. The information we have collated is now freely available via data downloads from the webmapping application and will be in future from the Archaeological Data Service at York University, or indirectly via the National Monuments Records of the individual countries within Britain and Ireland and/or the Historic Environment Records of the local authorities. New analyses will be able to be carried out and interpretations can be carried out by anyone in and beyond tertiary education and indeed professional archaeological employment. Our georeferenced data will be available to compare and contrast with other suites of information in ways that could not be done before, and which will in future be able to take overviews and understanding of hillforts beyond the new synthesis that will be contained in the Atlas now in development.. Integration with wikimedia will allow the future deposition of digital images of hillforts, indexed by atlas number, by members of the public and professional archaeologists. |

Description | The Atlas Citizen Science sub-project was paper-based and low-tech, with the intention of attracting as many participants as possible. It was based on visiting sites and recording in the field and while it is possible to use technology to do this, it was felt that a paper-based system was more appropriate and likely to be more appealing to a larger number of people. The aims of the Atlas Citizen Science were threefold: 1. To provide information for the Atlas database. This was mainly for known sites although possible new sites were communicated. 2. To encourage people when visiting hillforts to critically assess the earthworks in an informed way. 3. To gather information on the current condition of sites. The Citizen Science initiative consisted of a structured survey of a site using a survey form and notes for guidance, both downloaded from the project website . The form approximately mirrored the structure of the database. The notes for guidance prepared by the project team gave information on hillfort resources for the different countries including online inventories and general literature. It also included pertinent information, for example an explanation of different rampart and ditch configurations and different types of entrance. The launch of the Citizen Science initiative was announced in the national media through Current Archaeology, British Archaeology and BBC News, as well as on local radio in Scotland, England and Ireland. The demand for more information was considerable resulting in Atlas staff giving numerous talks to groups and organisations which gave a background to hillforts, the project and details of how to carry out surveys. A ten week course was delivered through the Department for Continuing Education, University of Oxford, on surveying hillforts. Annual reports on the project were delivered to the Hillfort Study Group. During talks to groups the value of discussion was emphasised by suggesting that teams of two or three people surveyed the same site and then compared results, thus highlighting the somewhat subjective and contentious aspects of earthwork interpretation and recording. The results of the Citizen Science are shown in Tables 1-3 , the first of which shows counts by country. England and Scotland dominate the returns. In England the 225 returns represent 200 different sites with 20 being surveyed twice and two sites being surveyed three times, Meon Hill, Warwickshire and Rainsborough Camp, Northamptonshire. In contrast all 76 returns for Scotland represent a different site. The reason for this lies in the greater number of groups and individuals working on the surveys in England than in Scotland. North of the border only 12 surveys (16%) were submitted by groups with the other 64 (84%) being the work of an individual; the opposite pattern applied to England where 188 surveys (84%) were group efforts. Within England most of the groups were local archaeological and historical societies which were keen to be involved in field work and a project seen as being of national importance. Table 1.

The feedback received from many groups and individuals was very positive and showed that people wanted to engage with earthworks in a critical way rather than just visiting hillforts because they are often in attractive and spectacular locations. The educational intentions of the Citizen Science programme were achieved even for the many individuals and groups who only surveyed a single site. Both the Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society (BACAS) and Gloucestershire Archaeology returned over 40 surveys, many of which contained extra information including geophysical surveys for some sites. The Community Landscape Archaeology Group (CLASP) , surveyed all known and possible sites in Northamptonshire submitting extensive reports on each and also thoughtful interpretations of the area in the later prehistoric period. Two groups came together in the New Forest under the guidance of staff of the New Forest National Park Authority , the NFNPA Archaeology Volunteers and the New Forest History and Archaeology Group (NFHAG). Between them they surveyed over 30 sites based on LiDAR plots which enabled them to survey known sites and also possible new enclosures within woodland. Within the Chilterns area the Chilterns Conservation Board organised two one day conferences on hillforts at which the Atlas was presented together with an appeal for involvement, together with other papers about local hillforts and Iron Age life . A programme of training and surveying was organised and a tremendous amount of local interest generated which has resulted in a successful Heritage Lottery Fund bid to involve local people in exploring the 22 hillforts of the region in the Beacons of the Past Project . New groups have been formed, for example the Friends of Berry Castle, Devon with a focus on their one local site which was completely overgrown with trees in need of management. The Friends have worked with Historic England and the landowner to fell trees and agree a management plan which involves archaeological recording and exploration including geophysics, guided walks and planned interpretation boards. While it is impossible to name all individuals who submitted surveys, one individual deserves a special mention. This is John Lumley who carried out 45 surveys in the counties of North, South and East Ayrshire, Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, Stirling, South Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, Falkirk and East Lothian travelling by bike. John went way beyond the basic survey form returning detailed annotated plans and layered pdfs with photographs from many directions linked to plans. The Atlas Citizen Science programme was a winner of the 2017 Oxford University Vice-Chancellor's Public Engagement with Research Award. |

Title | Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland database |
Description | For data collection the team used an online database built in FileMaker Pro v11 to enable dispersed data entry. This contained c. 120 fields of information in four tables and includes pick lists, radio buttons and text fields. The final version will include over 4,100 records. The database is structured hierarchically with main tabs covering all aspects of hillforts such as landscape, dating, investigations, enclosing works and entrances, and in many instances with sub-tabs to capture detail. The original intention was to convert this database to an open public version and link it to Google Earth as an important outcome of the project. However, the School of Archaeology, Oxford, has recently invested in a map server and is developing a series of ESRI WebMapping applications for large projects. This web-based GIS mapping will enable more powerful real-time mapping and spatial visualisation of the Atlas data together with powerful searching functionality. The results of searches can be as reports, .pdfs and csv files. It is hoped to be able to develop a mobile version of this with GPS functionality so that proximity to individual hillforts can be determined and appropriate data accessed. |

Impact | See answers to other questions re: giving public access to the data we have collected and sifted. The database will be archived with the Archaeology Data Service and will be accessible through that service. Data will also be lodged with the relevant national heritage agencies' historic environment services (e.g. Historic England, Historic Environment Scotland) and will be incorporated into their records. The Atlas data has been incorporated into the Irish Heritage Council's Heritage Maps. Web analytics indicate that the site is hugely successful. As of 1st February 2018, it had received 33,063,174 hits, 10,735,510 page views and 193,680 visitors (128,636 unique IP addresses). The average page views per visitor was 55.43, indicating extensive engagement with the data, and the average visit lasted 04:53. The geographic footprint is also impressive: there have been visitors from over 176 countries. |

PI Contribution | In return for furnishing the information as detailed below, the Project will provide the HERs with a copy of the final database in csv format. This will allow each HER to assess what fields of information they want to incorporate into their own databases and to manipulate the data according to their needs. this will include making this information public through their publicly-accessible online sites and monuments records or by other means of their choice. . |
Collaborator Contribution | The 84 HERs in England and the four in Wales have provided digital data for relevant sites as requested by the Project team (i.e. on all enclosures and enclosed sites dating from the Bronze age, the Late Bronze Age and the Iron Age). This has enabled project team members to assess a wide range of sites and has thus helped to determine which to include in the project database. The HERs also contain descriptive data, administrative data and references, all of which have been assessed and incorporated into the project database where appropriate. |
