Hello Alice @profaliceroberts.bsky.social 👋
I'm enjoying the latest series of Digging For Britain, as always!
Please forgive me if you've answered this umpteen times already, but could you possibly tell me where these scenic sequences on a #hillfort were filmed, please?

Quarley Hill in Hampshire has an Iron Age univallate hillfort.
A rather cloudy Sunday morning last w/e. But on a fine day *would* provide lovely sunny views. 😁
There's a layby and footpath to the south, but the actual hillfort is on private land.
#RightToRoam anyone?

Big big thanks to the #Durotriges25 Big Dig team for showing as round the Iron Age, Bronze Age and Roman-British archaeology of Winterborne Kingston. 🙌
All lovely, hugely knowledgeable and enthusiastic people. 👏
Also enjoyed the modern-day pint of Duropolis Rising along with fish & chips. 😁

Three sumptuous concentric banks of earthworks. 😍

Uffington Castle is an early Iron Age univallate hillfort in Oxfordshire. It covers about 3.2 ha and is surrounded by two earth banks separated by a ditch with an entrance in the western end. A second entrance in the eastern end later closed up

A sunny Sunday drew me back to Martinsell Hill in Wiltshire. ☀️
But, unlike on my previous visit (doh!), I knew to continue walking along the ridge to reach the promontory hillfort of Giant's Grave with its distinctive long barrow.
Celebrating the small victories in life! 😆

Fosbury Camp: an Iron Age bivallate hillfort in Wiltshire (just!), close to the border with Hampshire.
There are two ponds within the ramparts, perhaps dating to the Neolithic?
Lovely views, loads of pheasants and red kites, and even managed to spot some deer.
