In contrast to Continental Europe, where the Iron Age is abundantly
represented by funerary remains as well as by hill-forts and major
centres, the British Iron Age is mainly represented by its
settlement sites, and especially by houses of circular ground-plan,
apparently in marked contrast to the Central and Northern European
tradition of rectangular houses. In lowland Britain the evidence
for timber round-houses comprises the footprint of post-holes or
foundation trenches; in the Atlantic north and west, the remains of
monumental stone-built houses survive as upstanding ruins,
testimony to the building skills of Iron Age engineers and masons.
D. W. Harding's fully illustrated study explores not just the
architectural aspects of round-houses, but more importantly their
role in the social, economic and ritual structure of their
communities, and their significance as symbols of Iron Age society
in the face of Romanization.
