I'm following this thread with interest in case anyone can explain to me the purpose of bronze age multi-vallate enclosures because everyone I've asked has a different opinion
I'm not an archaeologist myself though |

Ask here for a archaeological director's licence to undertake archaeological artifacts.
Otherwise the National monument service won't be happy about it |

From what I know and have excavated, bronze age multi-vallate enclosures. Almost always circular in shape, were used as settlements for Human habitation.
The multi-vallate ditches were used for defensive purposes. And would have had a bank on the interior of every ditch with a wooden palisade on each.
But in the last 5/6 years or so. There have been about 4/5 multi-vallate enclosures excavated in Dublin and the surrounding country, that were sub-rectangular in shaped. Dating to the 9th/10th century CE.
And there is a possibility that they might have been built by the vikings of Dublin as they expanded there territory.
And it t seem like there were adopting the style Irish fortified settlement, (always circular).
But adding there own cultural ideas of defensive to it and making it there own
I hope helped answer your questions.
But I'm not an expert when it comes to them.

...oh and I am metal detectorist as well. But:
a/ do not tell the PhD's
b/ yes I know the law
c/ no, I do not 'treasure-hunt'
d/ learning about local history and then unearthing it is quite exciting  |
