​What do we really know about the Iron Age Hillforts around Lyme Regis: Maggie Davidson

There are a number of Iron Age hillforts within a 15 mile radius of Lyme Regis, including Lambert's Castle, Coney's Castle, Musbury Castle and Pilsdon Pen. Further afield are the larger and more imposing structures of Maiden Castle, Woodbury Castle and Hambledon Hill. They were all built around 2,500 years ago and have been investigated and theorised about by antiquarians and archaeologists over the past 300 years.  This talk will examine how the different types of archaeological investigations and analysis have informed, and in some cases transformed, our understanding of the purpose, construction and use of these sites.
The speaker, Maggie Davidson, set up the Lyme Regis u3a Archaeology Group in 2020 and the group has been researching and visiting some of these hillforts over the past 2 years.  Maggie has a passion for prehistoric and landscape archaeology, a diploma in Archaeology and has taken part in excavations in the UK and Bolivia.
