England(6th c. BC) Danebury is an Iron Age hillfort in Hampshire, England, about 19 km (12 mi) north-west of Winchester. The site covers 5 hectares (12 acres) and was excavated by Barry Cunliffe in the 1970s [1]. Considered a type-site for hillforts, Danebury was pivotal in advancing understanding of Iron Age settlement patterns, as very few hillforts have been excavated to such intensity [1].
