“…The combination of GIS-based analysis and fieldwork has been applied to other landscape projects, for example, Arbour used GIS-based analysis both pre-and post-fieldwork to test the reliability of the field work and the accuracy of viewshed calculations (2011). Similarly within the Lismore Landscape Project where a combination of photography and viewshed analysis was used to investigate the visibility from a site (Redhouse, Anderson et al 2002). This creates a realistic visualisation and basis for analysis and interpretation because these photographs are taken within a real environment with real weather and real vegetation which can all effect visibility.…”

Moving away from the highly regionalised and constrained purely humanistic and empirical studies of hillfort location and morphology, this study is a multi-regional GIS-based analysis of the form and siting of several groups of hillforts across Britain. Hillforts in Dartmoor, Aberdeenshire, The Gower and Warminster are assessed, four regions that are topographically diverse. The highly varied topography of these regions also tests the GIS-basis of this study, another important intrinsic aspect of this novel research. GIS-based analysis has never before been applied to a study of hillfort location and morphology to this degree and, as with any innovative methodology its worth has to be tested and assessed.
