Iron-age skeleton found at site
BBC, 13 August 2009An Iron-Age skeleton has been unearthed at the site of an
archaeological excavation at an ancient hillfort near Monsal Dale in
the Peak District. The Longstone Local History Group is working at
the site which is thought to date from the Iron Age (700BC - 60AD).
The group was aiming to find out how and when the ramparts were
built, but during the work came across parts of a crushed skeleton in
a rock-cut ditch.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/derbyshire/8198985.stm
