What would life have been like at a hillfort in the Iron Age? In this talk, John Thomas, Deputy Director of University of Leicester Archaeological Services, will discuss recent discoveries.

With their commanding earthworks, hillforts are recognisable ancient monuments from the later prehistoric period. A recent project at Burrough Hill, near Melton Mowbray, has provided fascinating new evidence from a hillfort in the English Midlands.
