Wrestling with Social Value Case Study Report: The Caterthuns

Abstract

This report is based on the findings from a rapid, qualitative investigation into the variety of communities and range of social values associated with the Brown and White Caterthuns, a pair of Iron Age hillforts in Angus. It provides some background to the site and research process, summarises the findings, and considers the potential implications. The research identified a number of different communities for whom the site was of significance and a variety of inter-connected social values. The research was undertaken as part of the collaborative PhD project, Wrestling with Social Value: An Examination of Methods and Approaches for Assessing Social Value in Heritage Management and Conservation.
