  This is an account of man's use of the hilltop at Danebury and particularly the period in the Iron Age when it was an important hillfort. The author undertook an immensely detailed, long-term excavation of the site and in this book reveals the results of that investigation: the kind of life led by the Celts who lived there; their love of war; their buildings; their architecture; their rituals relating to life and death. This study also puts the site in the context of its surrounding landscape and the prevailing social and political trends.
