Abstract

The article evaluates the remains of enormous fortifications of Celtic society during the Neolithic and Iron Age, which were found on the hilltop of Crickley Hill in 1969 in southern England. The excavations at Crickley Hill have discovered several clear evidence of an organized and fortified settlement associated with ritual and functional elements.
