CAER Connected
Archaeologists have traditionally regarded hillforts as defensive structures; yet more recent interpretations argue convincingly that they are socially charged monuments, impressive expressions of community identity built by ancient hands. The invention and creation of these hillforts represents complex cooperation and collaboration written large in the Iron Age landscape; so how can we think about the meaning and purpose of these monuments in the landscape, communities and culture of today?
CAER Connected builds upon the award winning archaeological and historical co-research approaches and partnerships developed by the CAER Heritage Project (CAER) over the past nine years.

“As much as the hillfort is central to the project, the project wouldn’t exist without all the people involved”
