The first edition of this book, published in 2009, gave a detailed account of hillforts, one of our greatest archaeological monuments, which have a profound impact on the landscape but are so little understood. What were they and where are they located? How were they built, what was their function and how did they fit into prehistoric and later society? Lavishly illustrated, this revised and updated second edition not only looks again at these questions in the light of substantial increases in knowledge over the years since first publication, but also now includes the outstanding and unusual hillforts of the Isle of Man.

Que sait-on des habitats de la Gaule non méditerranéenne à la fin de l’âge du Fer ? Peu de choses par rapport à ce que l’on connaît des sites contemporains de la bordure méditerranéenne. L’étude d'I.B.M. Ralston, faite à partir d'un inventaire des sites d’une région, le Limousin, contribue à combler cette lacune. En comparant ces données avec celles fournies par d'autres régions françaises et en confrontant les sources archéologiques, numismatiques et textuelles, l'auteur propose une analyse de la société et de l'émergence probable des entités étatiques à la veille de la conquête romaine. Il se place délibérément dans une perspective régionale, à l'inverse des approches macroscopiques antérieures dont il fait la critique. What is known about the settlement sites of non-Mediterranean Gaul at the end of the Iron Age? Relatively little compared to our knowledge of contemporary sites near the Mediterranean littoral. This study, based on a regional inventory of the settlement sites of Limousin, is a contribution to filling that gap. The author considers archaeological, numismatic and historical data from Corrèze, Creuse and Haute-Vienne in relation to information from other regions of France, and proposes an analysis of Gaulish society and political structures in the immediately pre-Conquest period. The study is avowedly regionalist in perspective and offers a critique of earlier, brooder- scale models of change during this period.
