== Settlements == [[File:Aerial photograph of Maiden Castle, 1935.jpg|right|thumb|[[Maiden Castle, Dorset]] was in the territory of the Durotriges]] The absorption of the Durotriges' ruling families into the Roman province of [[Britannia]] and the extent of [[Romano-British culture|Romanisation]] makes documenting the names of settlements occupied by the Durotriges before the Roman conquest difficult, but from a variety of sources several places are known. Ptolemy's ''[[Geography (Ptolemy)|Geography]]'' lists Dunium, speculated to be [[Hengistbury Head]], as an important tribal centre near their [[Belgae]] neighbours, but it is unknown whether if it was considered the capital of the tribal confederation, especially as several other settlements appear to be equally important from archaeological evidence. Known places of pre-conquest settlement include: *[[Woolsbarrow Hillfort]] *[[Maiden Castle, Dorset|Maiden Castle]] *[[Cadbury Castle, Devon|Cadbury Castle]] *[[Ham Hill, Somerset|Ham Hill]] *[[Abbotsbury Castle]], [[Allington, Dorset]], *[[Badbury Rings]], [[Banbury Hill]], [[Bindon Hill]], [[Buzbury Rings]] *[[Chalbury Hillfort]], [[Coney's Castle]], *[[Dungeon Hill]], *[[Eggardon Hill]], *[[Flower's Barrow]], *[[Hambledon Hill]], [[Hod Hill]], *[[Lambert's Castle]], [[Lewesdon Hill]], *[[Pilsdon Pen]], [[Poundbury Hill]] *[[Rawlsbury Camp]] *[[Duropolis]]
