Something to play around with though there are 10 pdf's on these hill forts in Central Scotland. I am never quite sure that reconstruction via computer models really give a flavour of the original, but still.

Ooh I do like the bit where you can twirl the artefacts around, that certainly gives a better impression than just a picture.

I quite like the way you can overlay the interpretation of the forts over their photos.

Oh to be able to create such a thing, you could apply it to all sorts of things.

True, but computers never quite reach what you want. Hands on creativity is good for the soul and the mind. As you often demonstrate ;).

In a simialr vein, we're off to Dorset next week fer a short break, and whilst perusing various maps fer walks and things to do, came across a rather nice digital rendition of Chalbury Hillfort, which is only a few clicks from where were staying.
