Roman Camp Round - NW of Cleghorn Mill

Quote:Wasn't the Celtic hillfort called an "Oppidum," thinking of Round forts?
Not all oppida (in the modern sense of proto-towns) were hillforts and not all hillforts were oppida (the Romans were less fussy about terminology). Blame prehistorians for any confusion (I find that usually works).
