 Maiden Castle: Europe's Largest and Most Complex Iron Age Hillfort

Dominating the Dorset landscape, Maiden Castle stands as a testament to the ingenuity and power of the Iron Age Celts. This colossal hillfort, one of the largest and most complex in Europe, offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of ancient Britons.

Encompassing an area the size of 50 football pitches, Maiden Castle is a marvel of defensive architecture. Its intricate network of ramparts, ditches, and entrances, designed to withstand attack, is a sight to behold. Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of intense conflict, including the remains of siege engines and mass burials.

Beyond its military significance, Maiden Castle was also a thriving community. The hillfort's inhabitants would have engaged in a variety of activities, from farming and crafts to religious rituals. Excavations have revealed evidence of houses, workshops, and storage pits, offering valuable insights into daily life during the Iron Age.
