The three hillforts in the vicinity of Maidenhead, Taplow Court, Danesfield Camp and Medmenham Camp, are all very different sites. Recently published excavations at Taplow and fieldwork at Danesfield and Medmenham have produced exciting new insights into the construction, dating and occupation of these Iron Age sites. This talk will discuss these recent discoveries and place the sites within the context of recent research into Iron Age hillfort-based activity in the Chilterns and across southern Britain.
