Hawkes, C F C, and Crummy, P, with 11 contributors, 1995, Camulodunum 2, Colchester Archaeol Rep, 11
Largely completed before Hawkes's death, this volume contains descriptions of all the Colchester dykes and considers late Iron Age and early Roman Colchester generally. Substantial discussions are provided of the Lexden Tumulus, the Sheepen and Gosbecks sites, and the origin and development of Camulodunum.

Cunliffe, B, with 12 contributors, 1995, Danebury: an Iron Age hillfort in Hampshire, vol 6: a hillfort community in perspective, CBA Res Rep 102
The massive database resulting from the initial 20-year excavation programme prompts an important chapter on collecting and controlling the data and understanding their meaning. Succeeding chapters explore spatial patterning within the data, examine those aspects of the economic and belief systems for which there is tangible evidence, offer possible social models and explore trajectories of change, and offer some general remarks on possibilities of approaching an understanding of Iron Age society on the available evidence.

Perkins, D R J, Macpherson-Grant, N, and Healey, E, 1994, Monkton Court Farm evaluation, 1992, Archaeologia Cantiana, 114, 237-316
The discovery of Late Bronze Age settlement remains, followed by that of four Late Bronze Age hoards of Carp's Tongue phase, led to fuller exploration of this Isle of Thanet site, revealing huts, pits and ditches, with ceramic and flint assemblages.

Palaeoecological study of channels on the Windrush floodplain revealed deposits of Late Devensian to mid-Holocene date. Excavation of a predominantly pastoral Middle Iron Age settlement produced evidence for a double-ditched enclosure and paddock with several developmental stages involving five round-houses, five four-post structures, and functional divisions of the enclosure.
Cracknell, S, and Hingley, R, with a contribution by Canti, M, 1995, Hobditch linear earthworks: survey and excavation 1987, Trans Birmingham Warwickshire Archaeol Soc, 99, 47-56
Excavation suggested a pre-Roman date for the earthwork, possibly part of a territorial complex.

Excavation of a large multi-period cropmark complex revealed a circular ditched enclosure, two ring ditches, a pit circle, stakeholes, pits and the like, some containing Peterborough and Grooved wares and Early Bronze Age urns, together with Neolithic and Early Bronze Age flintwork and stone axes.
Yorkshire
Brewster, T C M, and Finney, A E, with 6 contributors, 1995, The excavation of seven Bronze Age barrows on the moorlands of north-east Yorkshire, Yorkshire Archaeol Rep, 1
One of the Early Bronze Age barrows was in the Whitby area, the others on the Tabular Hills inland from Scarborough; all had two or three structural phases and six had kerbs. Burials with Food Vessel and Collared Urns accompanied successive phases of mound construction, some radiocarbon-dated. The environment at the time of building was generally deforested heath moorland.
