I think the _big_ ones are EWF era. Many of them viridified by dragonfire (either deliberately while building, of roasted in the Dragonkill).
At least my vision of the Dragon Pass hillforts is the Celtic model, that is simpler than the one above, and not done in such military precision. Orlanth fort in the Storm Realm is a simple spiral. The viking fort with gates tunneling through the thick walls and a mote seems very sophisticated.
