Gefrin The Anglo-Saxons built a royal villa at Gefrin, including a magnificent timber hall, in what is now the field north of the lay-by around 600 AD (see artist’s impression, top right). Often when the Anglo-Saxons occupied important Ancient British sites, they renamed them. Here they used the local name, Gefrin, which has evolved into the modern Yeavering, meaning ‘the hill of the goats’. The Old Palace This barn was originally an early form of bastle house, or defensible farm- house, built in the early sixteenth century.

It provides vital information about the operation of the rides and it will enhance your enjoyment of the day. The Wooler Wheel is conducted under the regulations of British Cycling. Please note that the HQ for the rides (where you register, start and finish your ride) will be at the John Swan Ltd Wooler Livestock Centre, Berwick Road, Wooler NE71 6SL (otherwise known as the Wooler Mart). For this event we have the dedicated use of two large grazing fields adjoining the Wooler Mart for car parking. They give quick and easy access to the registration area and can accommodate around 400 cars. This will be sufficient to take all the cars of the entrants. Parking will be supervised. We strongly encourage all entrants to use this car park to avoid congestion at the limited capacity public parking areas in the town which causes considerable inconvenience to Glendale residents who drive to Wooler to do their Saturday shopping. 1 CONTENTS TERMINOLOGY SCHEDULE FOR THE DAY GETTING TO WOOLER GETTING TO WOOLER MART & WHERE TO GO Car Parking Getting to the Registration Area REGISTRATION AND PRE-RIDE PREPARATION EVENT START COORDINATION DURING THE RIDES EVENT FINISH THE ROUTES General Description Garmin Connect Links Google Maps Links Signage Feed and Water stations Cut Off Times Pulling out during the Ride A Word about Times What to Watch out For Pot Holes Route Marshals and your Safety First Aid Operational Partners Contact Numbers WITHDRAWALS SHORT TERM CANCELLATION PROCEDURE TOP TIPS FROM OUR PARTNER BRITISH CYCLING WANT MORE ACCESS TO BRITISH CYCLING EXPERTISE?

The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.

Executive Summary • Recent research has highlighted an increasing separation of work and residential location as commuting journey lengths increase. This is particularly the case for rural residents, who tend to have longer commutes than urban residents. Whilst commuters bring money to their place of residence that has been earned outside the locality, they also represent a leakage of money from the locality often commuting for work is associated with commuting for other activities, including retail and leisure spending.

While research has continued at Broom, other sites have also been investigated in the valley as part of the English Heritage-managed and ALSF- funded project “Palaeolithic Rivers of South West Britain” (PRoSWeB). This project was completed in March 2007. Since then, research focussing on the Quaternary geology and Palaeolithic archaeology of the southwest region has been continued at selected locations by Prof. Tony Brown (University of Southampton), Dr Laura Basell (University of Oxford) and Dr Phil Toms (University of Gloucestershire), with assistance from Dr Ramues Gallois and Dr Richard Scrivener (formerly British Geological Survey).

  • Harding Hillforts Lang Review Final
    The Prehistoric Society Book Reviews IRON AGE HILLFORTS IN BRITAIN AND BEYOND BY DW HARDING Oxford University Press. 2012. 334pp, 69 illus, incl 16 col and 46 B/W plates. ISBN 978-0-19- 969534-9 hb, £75 For so long, perhaps too long, hillfort studies have been central to research and to our understanding of the British Iron Age. Ever since Christopher Hawkes produced his landmark Antiquity paper in 1931, hillforts have been endlessly discussed in various attempts to categorise, define and interpret their significance in later Prehistoric studies (for example Jesson and Hill 1971; Cunliffe 1975; Forde-Johnston 1976). As a result site reports, articles and books that have outlined, reviewed, analysed and re-interpreted hillforts have dominated Iron Age studies for much of the twentieth century. Thanks to developments in aerial and landscape surveys, widespread geophysical surveys and results from development-led archaeological fieldwork from the 1970s onwards, there has been a change in direction for Iron Age studies and these site types no longer dominate research for this period. Nevertheless, recent research has shed new light and new perspectives on hillforts (for example Champion and Collis 1996; Sharples 2010) and current work place these sites within a wider research framework. There remains no doubt that archaeologists remain obsessed with these sites; partly no doubt due to their dominant (earthwork) presence in the landscape and their size and scale: there’s nothing quite like scaling the monumental earthworks of Maiden Castle or Hambledon Hill (both in Dorset) to make you appreciate them! Perhaps also, these sites have clearly presented opportunities as the testing grounds for archaeologists, as many pre-eminent archaeologists have dug one (or two) in their day.
