Castlelaw Hill Fort

After a visit to the screen printers today, I took a short drive up to Castlelaw Hill Fort today's image is in the long entrance chamber, it was a bit too muddy for crawling through to the side chamber, so I'll need to leave that for another day. The fort is the remnant of a stronghold of the Iron Age. When it was occupied the site consisted of three earthwork ramparts, ditches and timber palisades. The fort contained a Souterrain for the storage of agricultural produce.
The fort commands views over the Forth and Lothian. Traprain Law and Berwick Law, both significant centres of power in the Iron Age, are visible from the site.
