Looks great! An amzing piece of work.

One question: what did you use to make the thatched roofs?

Cracking,

It's one of my favorite forms of fortification to build.(actually have a series of round house's and oppidium on a commissions wish list to do for the beginning of next year. So I'll enjoy watching your progress.)

Will you add an area of vitrification to the wall as a variation in detailing ? Or build an optional embankment and ditch to sit the whole thing on. So you can go full hillfort as and when the mood takes you?

Not sure what I will do after I finish the stone wall and few round houses. On the wall I have plan to build timber or wattle fence (still not sure).
Good idea about hill fort. 👍

That is excellent, I was looking at your wall and thinking "I've been there" it took me an hour wading through my photos before I realised it was Mont Beuvray or Bibracte as it used to be called in the Morvan area of France.

Great reproduction of a Celtic fortification.

Well, I am not a wargamer, but I will create some battles/dioramas with my buildings and units. Of course, I will share it with you.  ;)

My Celtic army soo far.

Beautiful work. It's most likely the prettiest and probably most practical game-size oppidum I've ever seen. The murus gallicus effect on the stone-faced outside and the earth bank at the rear is a great combination.

Wow, that’s more than a little good! I love that it is modular and can be used in pieces, yet is a unified whole. I think you could use the outer walls and some of the buildings for post-Roman Britain fortifications as well.
