Statistical analysis of distributions of hill‐forts and open settlements of the Iron Age in certain areas of southern Britain, including the Cotswolds and Lower Severn Valley, suggests that sites attributable to the later phases of the Iron Age occur in closer spatial association with heavier, and more fertile, lowland clay, and gravel soils than sites of the earlier phases of the Iron Age, which have a closer association with lighter, upland soils. The implications of such a trend, and the validity of its interpretation in terms of changing population distribution, land use, and agricultural practice are discussed
