I was at a lunchtime lecture by Ray Howell recently and as well as plugging his forthcoming book he pointed out that the Final report on the Lodge Hill excavation (as featured in the TT King Arthur special) has been published in the BAR series. Details from the Archaeopress site below:

BAR 407 2006: Lodge Hill Camp, Caerleon, and the Hillforts of Gwent by Joshua Pollard, Ray Howell, Adrian Chadwick and Anne Leaver with contributions by Michael Hamilton, Philip Macdonald, Lesley McFadyen, Elaine Morris, Rick Peterson, Neil Phillips, Ruth Young, Tim Young and Daryl Williams.

This volume describes work on the Iron Age hillfort of Lodge Hill Camp, in Gwent, south-east Wales. Situated adjacent to the later Roman legionary fortress at Caerleon, the hillfort has, until recently, received little archaeological attention. Excavation was undertaken during the summer of 2000 within the interior of the hillfort, at its western entrance, and across the inner bank and ditch of the defences. An extended discussion is offered of Lodge Hill’s position within the regional Iron Age sequence, and of Roman and early Medieval reuse of hillforts in south Wales. The results of geophysical and earthwork survey at the hillfort of Llanmelin, near Chepstow, are also reported on. Contents: 1) Introduction (Joshua Pollard, Michael Hamilton & Neil Phillips); 2) Excavation Results (Joshua Pollard, Adrian Chadwick & Lesley McFadyen); 3) Artefactual Material [Ironwork (Philip Macdonald); Metalworking slags (Tim Young); Prehistoric pottery (Rick Peterson, Joshua Pollard & Elaine Morris); Droitwich briquetage (Joshua Pollard & Elaine Morris); Roman pottery (Ray Howell & Joshua Pollard); Medieval pottery (Rick Peterson & Joshua Pollard) ; Brick and tile (Joshua Pollard) ; Fired clay (Joshua Pollard); Worked flint (Joshua Pollard); Other worked stone (Joshua Pollard) ]; 4) Environmental Evidence (Ruth Young); 5) Discussion: Lodge Hill Camp and the hillforts of Gwent (Joshua Pollard, Ray Howell, Adrian Chadwick & Lesley McFadyen) ; 7) Appendix 1. Llanmelin Hillfort, Caerwent: geophysical and earthwork survey (Daryl Williams).
They were slow. I had to chase them up. There had been some cock-up and had to cancel the exicting order and go through the process again. In other words, it would be worth a follow-up call or e-mail.
