Atlas of Hillforts in Britain and Ireland

The following site has an atlas of hill forts in the UK and in Scotland showing where hillforts might have been before the Romans. Some are post-Roman such as the one near Inchtuthill where they used stones from the Roman fort to build it. But it indicates population centres and why the Romans placed their forts where they did.

red diamonds are Roman Forts, green circles are Roman Camps, and yellow circles are hill forts (CC)

Here is the full interactive Atlas of Hillforts in Britain and Ireland.
