Hi, I see this page has only recently been created. I am trying to research Berry Mound as I only live 5 minutes from it. Do you have any further info reguarding finds from the site, or who owns it?
Email me at tuesdaycametoosoon@hotmail if you have any more information.
I haven't got any more information than that I've added to the article I'm afraid. The Pastscape link has the official record from the National Monuments Record, and you can find the two archaeological articles in the Transactions of the Birmingham Archaeological Society, which is held in the Birmingham Collection on the sixth floor of the Reference Library in Chamberlain Square.
I've already exhausted all Solihull library has to offer interms of the archaeological report, Bradford uni did a geophys survey in 2000, I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of that.
The part about "Danes camp field" comes from The history of Birmingham By William Hutton who was writing in the late 18th C I believe. He writes about a paragraph on it which makes for quite interesting reading. Not in the least because he only believes there is one set of fortifications, whereas later it was said there was up to 3 lines of defence. He also believes it was erected in the 9th C, but I think an iron age construction is more likely. Anecdotally there was a sword blade found there in the 70's a hoard of iron knives in the 90's that I'm desperately trying to find out about, they would ideally date the site, or atleast clarify whether the fort was re-used by the Danes which is what i'm really interested in

Hutton, though a fine writer, was notoriously inaccurate as a historian - perhaps forgivably so given the paucity of sources and resources at his disposal. He thought
Metchley Fort was the work of the Danes as well, but it's been exhaustively excavated over the last century and is entirely Roman. Although the use of Danes Camp etc as alternative names is mentioned by the EH link so should probably be included in the article, if the only source for the suggestion that the Danes actually used the site is Hutton then it probably needs considerable qualification at best.
