It's #adayinarchaeology today, part of the #festivalofarchaeology. These are some of my reflections on working at Castell Henllys Iron Age Village. (Okay, I know I'm on a train on route to Bradford while posting this, and not at the Fort, but y'all get it).

So, also working at an #IronAge hillfort site, covered with reconstructions, I would definitely go there. I really want to deal with the 'why' of all the metal work in water, mentally preparing myself for an utterly underwhelming, ungodly, motivation for hoards in lakes.
A question from us! If you had access to the TARDIS, Delorean, or any other awesome time-travelling thing (no hot tubs allowed), where would you go and what questions would you seek answers to?
