Hill Forts
Forts Situated on Isolated Hills, Peaks, and High-lying Ridge Summits
A great number of old forts come under this heading, of which are given descriptions of several types, while yet others, consisting of terrace formations only, and showing no defensive system of rampart and fosse, are described under the heading of Terraced Hill Forts. Most of the old forts are situated on hills, but are described in this paper under different headings, according to the situation and defensive methods.
