This volume describes the two seasons of excavation at Segsbury
Camp which form a part of Oxford University's Hillforts of the
Ridgeway Project. It contains background material and a series of
interpretations of the site at different scales finishing with a
discussion of the Lambourn Downs landscape in later prehistoric and
Romano-British times. The evidence suggests that the large hillfort
of Segsbury was used during the period 6th to 2nd century BC but
was not densely and permanently occupied. It also seems that
Segsbury was constructed in a new and previously unused area of the
Downs. Alternative interpretations are explored within a framework
of trying to understand what is meant by 'community' and how
Segsbury articulated with other hillforts in the area. The detail
provided by the excavation of several hillforts on the Lambourn
Downs suggests that they were different forms of monument and
argues against trying to understand hillforts as a single category.
