Maiden Castle

Southern wonder - Maiden Castle from the air |
We continue our tour of the south's prehistoric landscapes.
The keys of the Inside Out Land Rover are thrown Francis Pryor聮s way for Dorset.
Ancient landscapes and hill forts are right up his archaeological street, and mooching around them was an offer the Time Team old timer couldn聮t refuse.
Francis starts his tour at Maiden Castle, a magnificent example of an ancient hill fort just outside Dorchester.
Francis聮s tour then heads further West deep into Dorset to Eggardon Hill 聳 a real treat for Francis as he聮s never visited this site before.
"It聮s utterly beautiful", he says.
Next stop was Hambledon Hill 聳 now here Francis gets quite carried away by the gruesome history behind the hill.
Stories of sky burials and personal experience of the hill and the skulls excavated there 聳 lined up in a row.
Why? "That聮s the beauty of archaeology, we may never actually know", he says excitedly.
