Archaeologists who returned to a Shropshire site this summer to continue their explorations say it has yielded more finds of national importance.
Paul Reilly, a visiting fellow in archaeology at the University of Southampton, and Gary Lock, emeritus professor of archaeology at the University of Oxford, and their team were back at Nesscliffe Hill where they discovered evidence of iron workings, interior walls giving insight into the architecture of the hillfort and evidence of guard chambers.
Carbon dating will tell the team if the workings date from the early or middle Iron Age and what kind of implements were being constructed. Previous digs uncovered magnificent guard chambers near the fort entrance, which Mr Lock described as “some of the best preserved in Britain”.
