L’enigme des forts vitrifies

Wincobank Hillfort, Sheffield

C’est lors d’un voyage en Ecosse, au cours de l’été 1997, que nous avons entendu parler pour la première fois de forts vitrifiés. C’était au château d’Urqhart, au sud d’Inverness. Les monuments historiques fermant tôt, dans ce pays, nous ne pûmes voir que de loin cette impressionnante forteresse en ruine du XIIe siècle qui domine la rive occidentale du Loch Ness. Nous nous contentâmes juste de faire des photos au téléobjectif depuis le parking et de lire les panneaux retraçant l’historique du site.
