Chris H @chris-bh.bsky.social · 29/07/20261/ Stone labyrinth gate, one of three entrances to the triple walled bronze age hillfort of Gradina rediscovered at the start of the last century. The gate turns and narrows to funnel any approach into a bottleneck. #HillfortsWednesday 1153
Chris H @chris-bh.bsky.social · 29/07/20262/ Sharp blade-like rocks placed in the walls and nearby ready piled slingshot added to the gate defence. The entire fort was protected by three rings of drystone wall around a large flat plateau with rings measuring from 90m diameter to 300m 120
Chris H @chris-bh.bsky.social · 29/07/20263/ Between the second and third rampart sits the remains of the necropolos where the dead were buried in foetal position over a base of pebbles and stone slab walls with graves ranging from adult to infant in size 120
