[1] [2] On its launch in 2017 the atlas had 4,147 entries, which the researchers believe to be all of the extant hillforts in Britain and Ireland. [1] [3] A printed atlas is also planned. [4] The data was collated from existing catalogues of archaeological sites such as the National Monuments Records and county historic environment records. [4]
Hillforts were the exception, and were the home of up to 1,000 people. With the emergence of oppida in the Late Iron Age, settlements could reach as large as 10,000 inhabitants. [3] As the population increased so did the complexity of prehistoric societies. Around 1100 BC hillforts emerged and in the following centuries spread through Europe.
The fort is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, [2] and the whole of the hill is a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest, [3] a country park operated by Somerset Council, and is visited by over 250,000 people each year. [4] It covers an area of 210 acres (85 ha), making it one of the largest hillforts in Britain. [5]

The newly launched Atlas of Hillforts is a comprehensive listing of hillforts in the British Isles in the form of an interactive map, placing a lot of research about each site on public access. This project page is for organising activity across multiple Wikimedia projects to improve open knowledge about hillforts, using the Atlas as a source.
