Interpreting and Planning the Landscape Architecture of Iron Age Marsh-Forts

In 2018, the College of Arts and Law funded several Postgraduate Placements, one of which supported a project aiming to shed more light on the poorly understood Iron Age Marsh-Forts. The project was led by the recent recipient of the Award for Outstanding Impact in Culture, Prof Henry Chapman, ably assisted by two Postgraduates including Theo Reeves, who shares his experiences here.
