Swords, Skulls and Strongholds

For centuries, the Iron Age was believed to have been barbaric and primitive, with warring tribes venturing out from their hilltop forts to confront each other. However, in the last 20 years, archaeologists have turned this rather apocalyptic vision on its head. Hill forts were not forts, they were villages, religious and trading places. Tony Robinson presents this radical new picture of a key time in our history.
