Hillforts: From the Pentland Firth to the Western Mediterranean
The Society of Antiquaries of Scotland invites you to this talk on Hillforts given by Professor Ian Ralston at Augustine United Church on Thursday, 13th February.
About Hillforts: From the Pentland Firth to the Western Mediterranean
Amongst later prehistoric settlement types found in Scotland, hillforts offer particular scope for exploring diverse linkages through Britain and Ireland to the nearer continent.
Join us as Professor Ian Ralston outlines a selection of these, from aspects of the architecture of their defences, through evidence for violence and the use of fire in their destruction, to the character of the societies they may have contained.
The lecture will be followed by a Q&A.
Attendees are also welcome to stay for a free drinks reception from approximately 7pm where you can discuss the lecture and other interests with the speaker, Society Fellows and other attendees.
