		Danebury, where the inner earthwork consists of a glacis rampart, and the middle and outer banks are of dump construction, provides an example.
		At Danebury and South Cadbury these were rectangular and constructed in timber; at Maiden Castle the temple was circular and constructed in stone.
		Danebury, for example, is placed on the highest point of the chalk plain, 5km west of the valley and floodplain of the River Test.

	Historic Ireland - hillforts essay
		Collis discusses hillforts occupied in times of crisis and indicates that, if occupation was continuous by some local farmers then agricultural production and population would fall and consequently the size of the warrior elite and their ability to defend their territory.
		For example, Danebury's dump ramparts were two metres high and seven metres wide, while the ditch was six metres deep and between 11 and 12 metres wide.
		It seems, for example, that Danebury's east gate was designed to control anyone entering the hillfort, prevent spies seeing the state and readiness of defences and forestall surprise raids.

		One of these later linear ditches joined the earliest enclosures at the hillfort of Danebury to a rectangular enclosure of Late Bronze Age date at New Buildings and seems to have continued into the Test valley.
		In the 5th and 4th centuries Danebury began to become intensively occupied and was defended with its hillfort rampart.

		Decoding Danebury is a comprehensive examination of the work an interdisciplinary team of researchers conducted at the Iron Age hillfort site of Danebury for 16 years.
		The faunal specialist on the site reviews how she analyzes the 150,000 bones found in the excavations to determine the types and number of animals kept at Danebury and how the animals were used by the community.
		Although it is apparent that the researchers possess a great deal of knowledge of their subjects and are highly skilled, their analyses of the materials at Danebury are not presented as superhuman feats of science but as understandable and typical procedures.

	Managing Information News
		The Danebury Hillfort Excavations, carried out between 1969 and 1989 under the direction of Professor Barry Cunliffe, produced a mass of fascinating and valuable information about the activities on the site which is believed to have been occupied from the 6th or 7th Century BC to the 1st Century AD.
		During the work a pioneering project was conducted to record the data electronically but as computer and database technology was still in the early stages of development, the data was stored in forms that make it virtually unusable for today’s systems.
		The data is now available to download from the internet and includes information on 2,000 excavated pits and their contents, 100,000 pieces of animal bone and 100,000 shards of pottery.

	Family Ancestry
		Defensive structures dating from this time are often impressive, for example the brochs of northern Scotland and the hill forts that dotted the rest of the islands.
		Few hill forts have been substantially excavated in the modern era, Danebury being a notable exception but it appears that they were used for domestic purposes with examples of food storage, industry and occupation being found within their earthworks.
		They may have been only occupied intermittently however as it is difficult to reconcile permanently occupied hill forts with the lowland farmsteads and their roundhouses found during the twentieth century such as at Little Woodbury.
