etheses.bham.ac.uk/id/eprint/12... Walker's smashing 2022 thesis on post-Roman Cumbria
Johnson's Ingleborough: Landscape & History (2008) is a superb read too, as are his other works: New Light on the Dark Ages in North Craven (2019) and associated IAG research papers

Thanks to the great work of David Johnson, Yvonne Luke, and the researchers at IAG www.ingleborougharchaeologygroup.org, we know it to be an important, multi-period site, with evidence from the Neolithic to the post-Roman period

Feast your eyes on this absolutely stonking Lidar of Llanmelin Wood hillfort in SE Wales 😮🤩
This overgrown & partly wooded fort rarely shows so well. The long 1930s trenches of V E Nash-Williams can be made out 🧐
Burials may indicate a mortuary function 💀🤔
