Vitrified Forts: Ancient technology? Destructive burning? Or solar plasma?
This video examines the question of whether the vitrified forts of Scotland could have been created by a lost ancient technology, by accidental or enemy fire, or by coronal mass ejections of the Sun.
The video references the Dun Deardail project, which conducted archaeological excavations and radiocarbon dating of the hillfort and surrounding area.

How And Why Were Ancient Scottish Hillforts Vitrified?
Bronze and Iron Age hillforts are a mystery in themselves. There's a lot of debate as to the role they played and exactly how they looked. But, some of them are even more baffling because they have evidence of an unusual feature known as vitrification.
Large parts of the stone ramparts show signs of having been exposed to intense heat causing a melted, glass-like appearance. How and why this took place has a number of different hypotheses and even more mystifying is the fact that in the British Isles, vitrification is only found at the hillforts in Scotland. In this video I explore this mystery in some depth.

Tap O' Noth Ancient Monument. 563 Meters 1847 Feet. Rhynie, Aberdeenshire.
The Tap o' Noth is a hill and fort, 8 miles south of Huntly in Aberdeenshire, Scotland at grid reference NJ485293. It is the second highest fort in Scotland and its main feature is its well-preserved vitrified wall which encloses an area of approximately 100 m by 30 m, 0.3 hectares. Archaeological finds from the site include a stone axe head dated to between c. 2000 BC– c.800 BC, and a decorated bronze rein-ring dated to the 1st–3rd century AD.The site has been designated a scheduled ancient monument.
The vitrified fort is the centre of a settlement within another rampart which encloses a much larger area of some 7 hectares. This outer rampart was constructed in the fifth to sixth centuries AD; large scale settlement within the area may date back as far as the third century AD, contemporar...

Cullykhan - A Coastal Promontory in NE Scotland
The promontory fort of Cullykhan was excavated between 1963 and 1972. This revealed evidence of a sequence of use of the promontory, with at least five prehistoric phases evident. These included a palisaded enclosure, timber gateway, metal working area, vitrified rampart and a possible Pictish phase. Continued use of the promontory extended into the medieval period and later, the results of which caused significant damage to some of the earlier features. This paper gives a brief overview of the prehistoric site of Cullykhan, as well as a very brief look at some other hillforts in NE Scotland, and raises some of the problems encountered while working on the publication of a site excavated in the 1960’s.

Callander's Hillforts in Context
This talk was delivered online on Wednesday 2nd June 2021 as part of the Callander's Landscape Archaeology project, run in partnership between the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park and the Callander Heritage Society. Stratford Halliday presents an introduction to hillforts, considering the form and function of these defended earthwork settlements. Thanks to AOC Archaeology for their help in organising this talk and recording.
This talk was made possible thanks to funding from Historic Environment Scotland. #HESSupported
We would also like to thank the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Forestry and Land Scotland, the Woodland Trust at Glen Finglas, and Cambusmore Estate Trust.

It is the second highest fort in Scotland and its main feature is its well-preserved vitrified wall which encloses an area of approximately 100 m by 30 m, 0.3 hectares. Archaeological finds from the site include a stone axe head dated to between c. 2000 BC– c.800 BC, and a decorated bronze rein-ring dated to the 1st–3rd century AD.The site has been designated a scheduled ancient monument.
The vitrified fort is the centre of a settlement within another rampart which encloses a much larger area of some 7 hectares. This outer rampart was constructed in the fifth to sixth centuries AD; large scale settlement within the area may date back as far as the third century AD, contemporary with the Pictish culture.
Drone photographs and lidar surveys suggest that there may have been as many as 800 huts, many in groups with a larger hut at the centre of the group. It has been described as the largest known settlement in early-Medieval (post-Roman) Britain.
In the nearby valley, the Pictish image of Rhynie Man on a standing stone has been found on Barflat farm. A post-Roman settlement has been discovered in the valley, with evidence for the consumption of wine from the Mediterranean, the use of glass vessels from western France, and intensive metalwork production. This is interpreted as signs of high social status, possibly with royal connections.

The promontory fort of Cullykhan was excavated between 1963 and 1972. This revealed evidence of a sequence of use of the promontory, with at least five prehistoric phases evident. These included a palisaded enclosure, timber gateway, metal working area, vitrified rampart and a possible Pictish phase. Continued use of the promontory extended into the medieval period and later, the results of which caused significant damage to some of the earlier features. This paper gives a brief overview of the prehistoric site of Cullykhan, as well as a very brief look at some other hillforts in NE Scotland, and raises some of the problems encountered while working on the publication of a site excavated in the 1960’s.

SeeHearSayLearn.com presents a series of videos to get you speaking and learning languages such as English, Spanish / Espanol, French, German, Albanian, Arabic, and more. We are working hard to get our videos uploaded. We provide you with word pronunciations, definitions, translations, stories, rhymes, riddles, jokes, tongue twisters, and anything that will help bridge the gap between your current fluency to your desired proficiency and understanding. Whether you're just learning or trying to bolster your intellectual quotient into a new stratosphere of concise and succinct communications, allocating the proper verbiage could be paramount to illustrating a picture for the recipient or merely shoving drab nondescript sounds of failure down their auditory meatuses. Run on sentence you say? I'd agree. Utilizing big complicated words isn't usually the most effective form of communication, but adapting your language to your recipient will be the most effective way to transfer your thoughts. Having a wide array of tools for each project will allow you to tailor your message for the most effect and efficient use of your time. To write, read, and listen to language takes fewer words than you might imagine. In each language, you could likely get away with understanding a few thousand words and be completely comfortable with many different language settings. Why even a few hundred can get you quite far.
If ever you find any of the words to be inaccurate in any way, which may most often be the pronunciation I want to thank anyone who reaches out to send me a message regarding any errors. I will do my best to read and correct any perceived errors. Be advised that many pronunciation can vary slightly between regions.
My congratulations to anyone broadening their word bank in any language. Science is clear that with more word associations languages become easier to learn and has the potential to be a protective buffer against dementia and Alzheimer's Disease.
