EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Old Oswestry Hill Fort: A Testament to Iron Age Defence and Fortification Old Oswestry Hill Fort, located in the beautiful county of Shropshire, England, is an awe-inspiring reminder of the Iron Age past. This impressive fortification, captured in the meticulous aerial view reconstruction drawing by Ivan Lapper, showcases the intricate layout and defensive features that once protected its inhabitants. Dating back to the late Iron Age, around 200 BC, Old Oswestry Hill Fort was a formidable stronghold, strategically situated on a natural plateau overlooking the surrounding landscape. The fort's defensive walls, depicted in this graphic, encircle a vast area of approximately 15 hectares, making it one of the largest hill forts in England. The fort's design is characterized by its double ramparts, which consist of an outer and inner bank, surrounded by a deep ditch. The entrance, located on the southern side, is guarded by a narrow gap in the defences, which would have made it easier to control access to the fort. The Iron Age people who inhabited Old Oswestry Hill Fort were skilled farmers, metalworkers, and craftsmen. They built their homes within the fort, which provided them with protection against invaders. The fort's location also offered them access to valuable natural resources, such as water and fertile land. The reconstruction drawing by Ivan Lapper provides a unique insight into the layout and design of Old Oswestry Hill Fort at the height of its occupation. It is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Iron Age people, who built such impressive fortifications to protect their communities. Today, Old Oswestry Hill Fort stands as an important archaeological site, attracting visitors from around the world who are fascinated by the rich history of the Iron Age in England.
