Kinver Edge Hillfort, UK, 3D LiDAR scan
3D LiDAR model of Kinver Edge Hillfort in Staffordshire, UK. The digital terrain model offers a view of the surrounding landscape without obstruction from foliage. Hillforts were settlements constructed on natural hills, typically fortified with earthworks around the contours of the hill. They were widely constructed across Britain and Ireland in the centuries preceding the Roman conquest of the regions. Whilst most hillforts were used in the Iron Age period (1200 BCE-500 BC), it is suspected that Kinver Hillfort has origins earlier in the late Bronze Age (1600-1200 BCE).
