Neat :)

It's an impressive structure. Even after two and a half thousand years.

Very much so.

a photograph with a cobweb has a magical atmosphere)

in the terraces, probably, at that ancient time, logs with pointed ends were dug?

Fog & cobwebs, I never can resist photographing these...

Yes, two thousand years ago, when the fort was constructed, the ramparts would have been faced with timber, and the ditches much deeper. But erosion has taken its toll.

Such mournful imagery. Just beautiful.

Wow! THAT is an amazing construction! Thank you for the tour.

BTW: I LOVE the spiderweb photo! Mighty Cool...

You're welcome!

Even after two and a half millennia of wind and rain and sheep, it is still a very impressive construction. Back when it was built, it must have been shockingly intimidating.

Agreed. And the age of it is, indeed, marvelous in-and-of itself.
