#HillfortsWednesday
Old Sarum was an Iron Age #Hillfort constructed around 400 BC during the Iron Age by creating enormous banks and ditches surrounding the hill.

The site was then used by the #Romans, who called it Sorviodunum

Scratchboard art done in 2022. I bought a load of stuff to do this, was really hyped and excited about it, and then never touched it again. I should revisit this media.

In light of the recent research from @durotrigesdig.bsky.social and the team, I had a little wander to salute women of the Iron Age ( I actually got kicked out of the Maternity ward at St Thomas’s)
