Abstract
In 1946 excavations were undertaken at Breedon-on-the-Hill by Dr. K. M. Kenyon, F.S.A., in advance of quarrying operations. Since then further areas of the hill-fort have been destroyed, the rate of quarrying increasing yearly. So in 1957 excavations were again planned by the Ancient Monuments Branch of the Ministry of Works, and lasted nearly three weeks. Another section was cut through the east defences, about 100 feet north of Dr. Kenyon's Cut A, this time to include the ditch, which up till then had not been examined. No time could be allowed for any excavation within the fort.Keywords
