Hilltop fortification found in Buckinghamshire

Archaeologists believe they have unearthed an ancient fortified settlement at a hilltop paddock in Buckinghamshire. A dig on the site of a new £30m Thames Water main near Taplow has uncovered finds thought to date to the Bronze and early Iron Ages. Pieces from Roman and mediaeval times have also been found. The finds suggest it would have been a settlement on a key route to the centre of the country between 700BC and 400BC.
