So just before the last quiz.
Here is a game where you can see if you can spot how many times the Letters H I L L F O R T S are in a row, whether as part of a same word or not. I have not written the answer.
So for the sake of it the characters are Jack, Jill, Mr Illforts, and the Reverend, priest or minister, . I better say, when characters say H, it means they are shocked.
So Jack and Jill were in a sleepy little village in 1909, in a rural rustic idyllic little place in Ireland or Britain.
They were at the foot of a hill that is a hill fort, and like not all hill forts atop it is a well. So Jack says
Jack: Lets go up the hill Jill and get a pail of water, for your mother to do the cooking.
Jill: OK Jack, lets go up the path
On the way they meet the reverend/ Priest, Rector, Minister elder whatever.
Reverend: Hello Jack and Jill, I am on my way to Mr Illforts, he is a bit ill, could you bring some water for him.
Jill: H Illforts is ill, we should
Jack stuttering a bit on the climb up in his voice: Yes we w H ill for such a good guy. sorry to hear he is ill,
Seconds later,
Jack: Its amazing this old hill used to be a hill fort site,
Jill: Yes, but pretty dilapidated after all that quarrying,
Jack: Yes, a pretty ill fort site a ha ha h hill fort, h ill fort so to say.
Jill: I don't know why you are laughing that was awful,
Jack: Oh well
Jill: How do you spell Hill fort, is it H i l l f o r t or h i l l space f o r t,
Jack: I don't think it matters, I say H I L L F O R T
At the top of the hill,
Jill: I wonder how far you can see from the top up her,
Jack: From this Hill for tens of miles and miles, maybe,
Jill: I wonder if of this hill forty miles
Jack: Maybe in some directions, but in some of this hill four miles. But I think that big city near us, may be of this hill forty seven miles away. and we can not see it, so maybe off this hill fort we should find out.
Then on the way down,
The Mum, Dad and brothers of Jill are there,
Mother of Jill: Where are you going with that water,
Jill: It is for Mr Illforts, he is ill, the reverend asked,
Mother of Jill, OK see you later,
Jack: Here is Mr Illforts house,
Just then they see a large dog running up the lane, Jill was just about to say Hi, to the reverend, but changes course of her chatting, she was just about to see look, stops in mid course and almost about exclaim a shrieking exclamation of annoyed sounding words, but then shouts, something else,
JIll: Hi ll for ts
Phew, it's rover, he just wants wants to say hello,
She pats the dog
The dog, then heads off to the newsagent to pick up a paper for his owner,
Along behind is a cat that purrs and walks past, it's name is live life to the fullest or LLF, then again it may be the cat known as Top shot,,
Jill: Hi LLF or Ts
Jack knocks the door,
The reverend lets them in, Hi Illforts, here is that water
The reverend thanks them,
Reverend: can you take this letter to the post box, it is a return to sender, on your way back, it is a letter for one of my former staff, he left the church a few weeks ago,
Jack: oh a RTS,
Jill: How do you pronounce where it came from,
It is the town with a very long name in Anglesey, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
Jack, H I shall pronounce it,
He starts reading it, then having a other look, stops and tries to change the subject,
Jack, H I LL for tsars in Russia, do they shave a good functioning postal service in Russia, anyway, hmm I just remember I can post this in the letter box on the way home, yes,
Reverend: I don't know what that has to do with anything, but I assume they do, I had letter last week, from a pen pal there.
Jill: So I see the letter is going back to a Mrs Hillfo, we can get this rts right away then a good case of Hillfo rts
Jack, Yes well we better be off then, hope you get better soon Mr Illforts,
Reverend: Yes, his daughter is coming back, to look after him tomorrow, I read that in a other letter, Beccah illforts was her name, but now she is known as Beccah STROFLLIH (Thats hillforts back words),
Mr Illforts: her husband is staying in the town where they live though and their home, they work at TROFLLIH Hall, they are servants there, they live at a cottage which due to changes in spellings, of similar root origins, is known as Trof Llih cottage, Strof Llih Lane, apparently the family have lived there for years, so they and the hall have similar names.
Jill: Hm fascinating,
Reverend: Ok , well we better all leave, have some rest Mr illforts. Or my name's not Reverend Howard Ian Lawrence Louis Forts,
Mr Illforts: Yes, Rev H I L L Forts
Mr illfors: Thanks, bye,
So Jack and Jill then go up the hill and fetch another pail of water, from the Hillfort.

Answers
1 The answer is Dorchester Town, which has a castle on it, which has been knocked down, shows how people love castles, more than hillforts, to be their badges, though I like both, I mean it is the greatest hillfort in Britain, and they chose a castle that is not there anymore. Then again, a castle is more easy to make a badge so they are not bad, there. It makes sense. I say Stirling does, as it has the castle on, which was likely in use in the Dark Ages, when it was likely a hillfort. 2 Penycloddiau, 3 Manchester, and West Ham, 4, East Dumbartonshire, the town and counties have a divergence, on using the M and N, 5 Scottish Highland League, Fraserburgh, I think more as Broch in this case is more about it being a old term for Borough, which the town was. But it had a similar origin as a term to broch. 6 Dunedin, 7 Verdun, 8 Burgh, there are dozens of sites with Dun, at the start of their name in Britain and even Europe, like Dunkirk of course in Northern France, plus a large amount with Caer or Car, including the vast majority in Wales. Most outside Wales, have the start Car, but there is even a Caerlanrig in the Scottish Borders, another of those old Cumbric names that occur in small but delightful cases in that southern part of Scotland. 9 Brasil, or Brazil, 10 Madrid, Washington DC, Canberra, 11, All of them, Dumbarton of course, Hearts' Tynecastle, was a toll road, gate or something, leading to Edinburgh Castle, so a hillfort in a way. Dunedin Stadium, (Well it is named after Edinburgh's Gaelic name, a Dun, so the castle), So they all do. that is all I could find, of a specific site. 12, British Camp, 13 Alesia, 14 Billfort, it is spelt with a H at the start, 15, Oppida, like as converse to the Oppidum of Manching. 16 The last one the painter, 17 The Irish Sea, 18 Gaer Fawr and Dunadd have the boar connection, Burghead, the bull, and 19 all are named after hillfort sites in a way. 20 Salisbury, 21 Berwickshire, 22 King Arthur's Seat, And Bwrdd Arthur, which in Welsh is table, 23 They are one word names, that just define a fort, or castle, gaer is fort in Welsh There is also a hill in Monmouthshire called Gaer, with a hillfort on it. You could say British camp, ( see my page on it, ) seeing it's name comes from a popular 19th century term for hillforts, is also just a 2 word term denoting a hillfort. 24 They are similar names, Gaer Fawr means Great fort, while the Gaelic term means big fort. Mai dun or Maiden Castle apparently means Great Hill, or even great fort, in the the old Celtic language of the south west, so I almost could have included it, but not close enough, or certain enough just by a whisker, especially as the word castle is added as well before hillfort. 5 They almost mean the same, I mean a bury is a olde English term for camp, camp and a fort are similar, while castell is Welsh for castle, law is olde Saxon for hill, and bryn is Welsh for hill. So Bryn Castell and Castle hill, win the award of most similar in different languages. There are also Castle hill Iron age forts near Folkestone, Torrington, and in Hampshire and Alwinton, Northumberland. If anybody refers to them as The Castle Hill Hillfort, that is like Bryn Y Gaer Hillfort. in Flintshire. Plus these Castle Hill Hillforts, include names which are about the hillfort not a castle built atop, and same for Bryn Castell 26 They both kind of mean Forts of the Britons, In a sense as the Britons in Wales became the Welsh, Welshbury Hill, and Hillfort, in England's Gloucestershire, could be said to be as well, as Bury can mean camp or event fort I think, well maybe camp and fort are very different really, so maybe I am wrong there, so have not put it in the question, but it is similar. 27 Well 2 or, 3, if Bury means camp as in fort then 3 times. 28 Yes like Black Rocks fort, near Deganwy, North Wales. 29 Berkshire, 30 The Hill of Tara, Fun fact on it, a minor detail really, could be how indeed which in the 1920s, the British Israelites, a old British group not associated to modern Israel or the Palestinians by the way, carried out a archaeology dig there, which Yeats and Arthur Griffith campaigned against as they felt it was harming the site. I think excavations could have been OK, but they were looking for the Bible and Indiana Jones' Ark of the Covenant apparently which is not a normal archaeology aim. So a fair criticism, by Yeats and Griffith there, though I love Raiders of the Lost Ark, from Indiana Jones, but this sort of digging has to be done sensitively if at all. No doubt. Apparently they did a pretty damaging dig, so a awful thing there. 31 Ham Hill or Hamden Hill, if you only refer to British and Irish hillforts as hillforts then it is the biggest hillfort in the world. Though many oppida are essentially hillforts, so bigger. So you could say, like how a boxing champ can be honoured as being Champion of Britain, and then also in the same announcement champion of the world which makes the first part seem redundant, and obvious in that case, then you can say, Ham Hill is the largest hillfort in Somerset, Ham Hill is the largest hillfort in South West England, Ham Hill is the largest hillfort in Southern England, Ham Hill is the largest hillfort in England, and Ham Hill is the largest hillfort in Britain, and Ham Hill is the largest hillfort in Britain and Ireland, That would be it's equivalent announcement in boxing match, not that hillforts enter boxing matches. 32 The first of them. 33 Cissbury Ring, 34 Oldbury Camp on Oldbury Hill,
35 Scotland, and the west Highlands.
36 The Highland region of Scotland.
37 True
38 True
39 The Isle of Man, a Manx fact for you there, a pun on Manx cats, so good for a miss spell pun, Manx fcats,
40, The North, in Lancashire,
41 Christmas Castle and Castell Nadolig are the same hillfort in Ceredigion, in Western Wales, the others are in East Lothian, then the other Stirling and that area.
42 Yes, I mention the 2 in a earlier question, and there is uncertainty that there may be another, or 2, at Bewick Bridge, it's west and east locations are mentioned on https://hillforts.arch.ox.ac.uk/ which shows how plentiful they are here,
43 Cornwall
44 Harvard University
45 The United Nations. There is also a Dumbarton Oaks Concerto, written in 1938 by Igor Stravinsky,
46 The longest I know of in England, is Titterstone Clee Hill Camp Hillfort. There are other long names in England and the rest of the British Isles, but at 23 letters minus the word hillfort it is the longest I have found of a major hillfort. You may say camp is a other term for a fort so should not be included, but I feel the word camp is ambiguous so like Cadbury Camp hillfort, Camp is just part of the name.
Other long ones in England include
Humble Common Camp, Hampshire, and Thundersbarrow Hill, West Sussex.
While doing this look I found there is a Vespasian Hill, hillfort in England as well.
Then for Wales, long names include,
Mynydd y castell camp, in Glamorgan, Mynydd Twmpathyddaer near Bridgend, Glamorgan. Yes that area also has Y Bwlwarcau Eastern Enclosure, but I am not including the term Enclosure in this or Promonotary fort. Plus there is a Pen-y-Frwydd Llwyd Camp, in Ceredigion. Plus a Bishopston Valley Camp near Swansea, Plus a Harding's Down West Camp and east near Swansea, plus a Moel Offrwm Lower Camp in Gwynedd, which is maybe just as much a extension of a name as enclosure. Plus a Piercefield Little Camp, in Monmouthshire as there is a on termed Great as well.
Plus a Saint Julian's Wood Camp, in Newport. Plus a Great Treffgarne Rocks Camp in Pembrokshire, so maybe as long a name as the Titterstone. Maybe 1 letter more. So this could be the longest name for a hillfort I know of for the British Isles. Not that I will check all 4000.
While doing this research I found Sugar Loaf hillfort in Carmarthenshire, and a Yr Hen Castell, and a Castell Cadwalladr in Ceredigion, and a Castell Flemish fort, and a Castell Nantperchellan. Plus a Deborah's Hole hillfort near Swansea. Plus a Polish Home, in Gwynedd, Plus the Bulwarks, in Monmouthshire.
Ceredigion has one of a number of forts called Gaer in Wales. Which could be among the shortest names for a hillfort, without the word camp. Then again you have to add the word Y, or The, for most such forts, but it is almost self explanatory that it is a hillfort. I mean there is a 3 letter hillfort with the word camp after in England, but you still must add the term hillfort in my view to define it. So
Plus a couple of sites labelled, raths in Pembrokshire. Broadmoor Rath for example.
Then in Ireland there are some long names like Baile Iarthach Thuaidh, in Cork, and the longest continuous word I know of a name of a hillfort, Donneendermotmore promontory fort. And Ballyoughteragh South promontory fort.
Then for Scotland there are not that many I have seen, I mean Dùn Meadhonach on Colonsay is quite a long one, then again Bennan of Garvilland, in Dumfries and Galloway is a long name, as is Mull of Galloway Enclosure, but I do not count Enclosure as a term really.
Anyway so I declare the winner the Tittertsone and Great Treffgarne Rocks. Then again maybe there is a longer name, and I would not be shocked if there is in the Scottish Highlands somewhere a long Gaelic name.

50 Bwrdd Artur,
51 So I don't really believe in astrology, but he was a Leo. It is a bit of fun though so I am not going to be one of those experts condemning it. It is not my place to, as it is fun.
52 South Eastern England
53 England, it is in Cheshire, near Frodsham. It is among the smaller hillforts in the county of Cheshire.
54 Lithuania, Oliver Napoleon Hill was a self help author, and the Lithuanian hill is also Jiesia (Pajesys) Hill fort mound, near Kaunus.
55 Stonehenge, and it's environ, not the monument itself, just the area.
56 Bury,
57 Bury FC, expelled from League one in 2019 (3rd tier of English league system), their Phoenix team are Bury AFC. Bury Hill Hillfort is in Hampshire, and is 5 hectares.
58 It is a tautological place name, like that famous one in Cumbria Torpenhow Hill, which is a record 4 words which kind of mean the same things, there are lots of Viking, Saxon, English and Celtic term places like that. My made up one has 11 names that are the same in a sense.
59 The Christ the Redeemer statue hill is 2nd on that list.
60 Oldbury Camp Hillfort. or Oldbury Hillfort.
61 Trick question, they both are.
62 B, Actually. So that is why. Hope that is OK for you there. Its actually in the Ochil Hills, in Stirling, some wonder if the name comes from that tribe's name, though that is just a theory., It may have been in the Central Region of Scotland, not Tayside in the 1970s regions, but I am unsure.
63 Melrose RFC, also Colwyn Bay's RGC 1404 has a Eirias Park, from parts of which you can see Bryn Eithin which has a hillfort upon it there for you,
64 B, The one in Worcestershire.
65 The Silurians and Ordovician would have used hillforts, also there is the Cambrian era, but it is a term for Wales created by Celtisists in the 17th or 18th Century,
But that is my answer for now.
So that ends the question type

Acroustic poem, on Hillforts,
High on the hills,
In every region of Britain and Ireland
Long lasting forts, left alone,
Linger and remain solidly still,
For centuries sitting as solid as rocks
Overlooking terrains, where once,
Ramparts topped by defenders, for
Tribes, and their people
Saw peace, war and lifetimes,
My poem, Hillforts war war war, by Hillforts.co.uk, poem written between 2019 and 2024.
Hillforts now are still in a war,
Wars against invaders of sorts yeah,
Some are at the front of a invasions of houses at their borders,
With planning permissions raised, to destroy their ramparts and more there,
Some are at the forefront of a war with diggers and such,
Destroy the very ground for minerals, with destruction of the hillforts a mere by product of that,
Some are being breached by the unstoppable force of erosion,
Of the sea, and landslides and more in that process,
Some may seem to be ruined by other forces,
Of nature,
But these trees, and vegetation that surround and cover and encroach on these forts,
Are comparitvely friends and allies just causing minimal damage of the such forts,
Some forts are now lands; of woods, and trees,
Some are there for grazing by sheep and cows, and walks by tourists for sightsees,
Some forts, as if still manned, by sheep, munching grass, guarding them or holding them instead of soldiers,
Or dozens of lined up trees, standing guard, occupying them like sturdy warriors,
Or their remnant archaeological finds, of swords, and wooden post holes,
Remaining in the ground as last survivors, like preverbial soldiers in foxholes,
A stone whetstone survives there, and here,
But remains of swords rust away, and wood rotted away pushed apart by worms, moles and weather,
But all past these forces of intruders and worse,
They stand in their hundreds for us to observe,
But even then their wars can continue afresh
Of guys like me pricked by armies of gorse bushes and tree branches, in research pursuits,
Of steadily sensibly looking for safe routes up them past rivers and slopes,
Pushing up through bramble, a scratch on the face here and there,
And of coats, a thorn cuts and causes a small tear,
So my adventures, of many others,
Of plans of conquering them for research,
Maybe us a mild version of the warriors of so many centuries past,
Of people visiting them like armies of the past,
Sometimes wishing to protect them, or conserve them,
Despite some tourists stone moving, or footprints altering them in aghast,
We conquer them and pride in climbing to their tops,
Surely this honours them, like we are their warriors of old pasts,
For years hillforts have seen so much change in their land use,
Of castles on them, and more, its just all part of the story,
Them remaining still fighting a war,
Of surival past the perils of mans changing use of them, farming, and construction, and the rain, wind, and fauna of beautiful alive nature,
I want them to be kept safe for centuries in the future,
Its all part if the fun of this side of human nature,
Iron Maiden Castle , could be a good name for a iron age themed copy band, maybe a Iron Age superhero could be called Iron Age Man, like Iron Man is, or Iron Age Maiden Castle, or Iron Age People, mena dnd women Maiden Castle, Carry on Camping as in Carry on British Camping, 3rd Rock from the Sun, 30 Rock, Penn and Teller, Penny Lane, Like a Wrecking Ball, are the only popular culture media, I can think of with a name with a bit of a name of a famous hillfort.

Once Upon a time in the Old Oswestry Hillfort

Now a interuption,
but back to this afterwards.
So here is the best poem I ever have wrote.
Its called
Lets get set
Here we go lets get set
This poem is in Europe where it is set
I hope it will be read by the clever set
And is about a word, for which a record is set
If I write more, it will be in a set
If that number totals three, that is termed a set
It was finished before the sun set
Timed well as my watch was set
Before local badgers left their set
Or bees saw flowers close whose seeds had set
But after glue on this pen set
Which snapped in a tennis match tight set
Watched by many on a TV set
After which one player needed a broken leg to set
Felled as if cursed by the Egyptian God set
So whatever you do, whether buying stuff with secure payment protocol, code name set
Or even list collected values without particular order, what mathematicians call a set
I say what a word is set
Now back to what I was upto,
