Quote by Ian Armit

“The recognition of the symbolic qualities of enclosure has been significant in re-aligning perceptions of social relations and cultural change in Iron Age societies. Recent work has played down the practical defensive functions of hillforts and stressed their social implications... Hillforts as well as containing settlements, may well have fulfilled social roles not dissimilar to those claimed for stone circles and henges in Neolithic times.”
