Bloodgate Hill, South Creake
Переглядів 724 місяці тому
The only pre-Roman Iron Age hillfort in Norfolk that lies convincingly on a hill has, since 2003, been in the safe hands of the Norfolk Archaeological Trust, but in 1827, considered no more than a hindrance to agricultural improvement, it was severely damaged by levelling. Despite this partial destruction it remains a site of abiding interest and deserves to be better known. Geophysical survey ...

    Thank you for sharing this informative video. As an amateur archaeologist, I am aware that archaeology is destructive: once a site has been fully excavated, there may, as in this case, be nothing left to see. However, the site would, in any case, have been covered and lost repeatedly, until it eventually disappeared completely. What can be learned from recovery and detailed study of the timbers can tell us much about climate, availability of resources, tools, techniques and workforce required to construct such structures, as well as develop theories of why and how they were built. I appreciate that this may run counter to the sentiments of those who believe that they are the guardians of ancient beliefs, and that the removal of the timbers may represent an attack on those beliefs. I think it is important to acknowledge that the destruction of a site is irreversible. But I also believe that what can be learned adds to our knowledge and understanding of ancient technology and thinking, and helps reduce often irrational speculation about the origin and purpose of sites of worship, habitation and burial.

    Excellent. Very enjoyable to this retired digger from the. N.A.U./ N.P.S team. 😊 Found a small undercroft in Pottergate!. If I may say,your lecturing style is perfect. Duke St. keeps threatening to start demolition and then the crucial archaeology between Westwick St Duke St. and the river. It'll be like the Somme. Bet they do it in winter! Got to meticulously record the late Med,business before the pleasure of digging the Angles ,Danes and Normans!

    Hello, can you tell me if Horsford castle (just north of Norwich) was ever in the hands of the Howard family? Horsford motte & bailey was built by Walter de Caen and his son Robert fitz Walter was Sheriff of Norfolk & Suffolk. In 1069 Roger Bigod, Robert Malet and Ralph de Gael (then Earl of Norfolk), defeated the Dane Sweyn Estrithson's invasion attempt near Ipswich. After Ralph de Gael's fall in 1074, Roger was appointed sheriff of Norfolk & Suffolk, and acquired many of the dispossessed earl's estates. Roger Bigod is a direct ancestor of the Howards.

    Thank you. Fantastic educational video, very well presented. Can't see why there was so much controversy, but then you can't please everyone. Still, those that blinker themselves from science shouldn't stop the quest for knowledge of our distant past. If you had not carried out your work as you did I would never have been able to watch your fascinating and informative lecture. You have enriched the history of the human race.

    The point you mention about the electrical discharge experience likely indicates that the site was chosen in pre-history as a place where 'unseen' forces could come into play during auspicious moments and as you know all of the 'ancient' gods were the unseen natural forces.

    From 1985 to 1988 I lived in East Anglia, taking regular visits to the Norfolk coast. During the pandemic I began watching decades' worth of Time Team, including the episode about "Seahenge." Yes, thanks to UA-cam, all the great British television unseen by me three decades ago I got caught up on. This presentation is an outstanding gift to continue learning about and understanding the site and the controversies attached to it. Thank you!

    • @XtalQRP
      @XtalQRP 6 місяців тому

      Did you watch the video? The site was being destroyed by storm action and coastal erosion. Norfolk has the highest rates of coastal erosion in Europe. Inaction would eventually result in the site being lost, potentially within years. Instead the site has been comprehensively recorded and the individual timbers preserved for all of us.

    Lovely….. My family have lived in West Norfolk as far back as I came ACCURATELY get records for - 1635, although we probably go back longer than that. I’m proud - deeply - to have Norfolk in my veins, and when I see my DNA results that say “England, East Anglia” I proper puff up.
