Monumentality in Later Prehistory

More about the book

Focusing on the defensive structures and monumentality of Castell Henllys, this volume presents findings from a 30-year excavation of an Iron Age settlement. The site is significant for its palisaded settlement, earthen ramparts, and unique gateway features, contrasting with larger hillforts in England and Wales. It explores the social and economic organization of the period, offering insights into the construction of earthworks as both military defenses and community symbols. This work serves as a key resource for advanced studies in late prehistoric archaeology.
