Hello everyone I do apologise that the video took so long to finally upload, my editing software decided that it would delete all of my progress as well as that, some of my clips got corrupted. All will be fixed for next time - thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video.
Thank you. It is one thing to wax lyrical about Maiden Castle...(I gave a 'talk' about it to a deaf audience...Australian teenagers are as dumb as all the rest(I can say that because I was one of them), I tried to explain the ditch and rampart system, (40 feet comes to mind?) and now I learn the 'walls' may have been shiny white, adding to in its sheer impressiveness .......You gave a much needed perspective on just how 'big' it is... Walking in the foot steps of Gods...or sheep... You gave me a walk.. I thank you !
Another great video! I really like your choice of images too, they're not like other channels. They all tend to use the same type/style. I hope you gain a lot more subscribers, you definitely deserve it!
Metal Detecting UK With Metal Detectives of Dorset thank you very much, that’s absolutely fascinating I’ve always wanted to go metal detecting. It must be very rewarding when you find something so amazing such as coins!
@@historyworks19 Buddy have a look ....in our Detecting play list ! Roman silvers ....medieval silvers gold rings ....you can see us find it ...it's a great hobby ...are you actually based in Dorset ?
Metal Detecting UK With Metal Detectives of Dorset May I just say that your content is just fabulous with such amazing finds. I am indeed based in dorset, as you know it’s full of history. You’ve earned yourself a subscriber!
Very enjoyable video. I know this castle. There is another one between Toller Porcorum and Bridport that I used to go walking on. Can't remember it's name right now. My maternal ancestors are Dorset folk. Spicer being one branch. Keep up the good work.
@Spinny2010 I walk my dogs on Maiden Castle almost every day. An amazing place. There is another hill fort half way between Dorchester and Blandford near a village called Milborne St Andrew. Unlike Maiden Castle the top is covered with a wood. There is also an obelisk in the middle of Weatherby Castle which was built by the local landowner in 1761. You can see it from the main A35 but you need to know it's there as it just looks like a tree covered hill.
Sugest that anyone looking at this reads a more modern archaeological report on Maiden Castle, you'll get a very different history of the Roman "conquest" of the fort.
@@historyworks19 ok dude, but I read the wikipedia page about maiden castle before watching your video and you follow it almost line by line. Don't want to discourage you, just a bit of advice that if you read from wikipedia maybe mix it up a bit.
As Roman nowday i belive that everyculture must be protected. A bad step from my ancestors to not preserve that village with its own culture. we know....war is war. But the children cannot be killed.
@@sebode87 Sorry but unless you Geotechnical Engineer and you have drilled a series of boreholes over the hill and logged the samples your not qualified to say that.

Very well presented and very interesting from the historical facts. Well done.
She sounds like she is ready to slash her wrists. A monotonous, depressing drone is not the best voice for a voiceover.
Really nice video - thank you.

Excellent production ! We found to silver Durotregies coins in a field we have permission on ! They were a fearsome tribe !

spinny2010 I know which hill fort you mean but I can’t remember either, thank you very much for watching.
@Willow M Yes! Beautiful spot.
@Spinny2010 I walk my dogs on Maiden Castle almost every day.

Not a bad video all around, I can see you got your script from the wikipedia page though.
Thanks, but most of my research from this video came either from books or with the help of local historians.

WHERE HAVE THE TREES GONE. PLANT INDIGENOUS WOOD LANDS.❤🎉FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. YOURS TOO???
I bet it smelt like s**t living there🤣🤣
Doesn't make sense. Why would they spend hundreds of years building a hill when they could have just found a natural hill.
They didn't 'build' the hill knucklehead! It was already there, they simply shaped it with ramparts and trenches etc.
@@sebode87 and how do you know that "cat sit"
@@HitnganBecause I live about 10 minutes away from maiden castle, I know it's history well and walk around there regularly.
@@sebode87 Sorry but unless you Geotechnical Engineer and you have drilled a series of boreholes over the hill and logged the samples your not qualified to say that.
@@Hitngan look, they demonstrably did not just build an entire hill from the ground up.
