well at the mo I am drawing up a map of the various earthworks in the are that arent marked on OS maps, looking at the various other earthworks in the area, I would say that it was definitely defensive. As far as I can deteremine just about every hill top in the areas had earthworks protecting them. Strange in someways as I read that the Parisii that inhabited them were peace loving, but then I don't suppose the neighbours were necessarily of quite the same mindset
