‘Overall, this work provides a welcome investigation of a poorly understood site type within prehistoric archaeology. The application of landscape archaeology and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction techniques provides a wholistic approach to the understanding of the landscape setting of the Berth and is a welcome example of best practice into the investigation of wetland landscapes.’ – Tudur Davies (2022): Archaeologia Cambrensis Vol. 171

‘Norton has delivered a solid study on an elusive subject and succeeds in putting forward a convincing framework for studying marsh-forts in the future as a more common site type and, in some cases, important centres in hillfort-dominated landscapes. Their position in their waterscapes is both deliberate and meaningful. Adopting these proposals for marsh-forts will certainly have an impact on the perception of, and stimulate fresh input into, future research in the British Iron Age.’ – Marion Uckelmann (2023): Antiquity Vol. 97 (395)
