Iron Age hill fort was six times bigger than thoughtArchaeologists believe the hill fort may have been downsized at some pointAn Iron Age hillfort in south Shropshire was six times larger than originally thought, archaeologists have discovered. The group, from the Time Team television programme and universities of Chester and York, carried out research using sensors mounted on aircraft to map the area around Bodbury Ring. They said it appeared that the previously identified earthworks were only a small part of a much larger settlement. The remains of what could be a Roman Iron Age settlement have also been uncovered.
