Castle Hill is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort situated in Hampshire, England. The site is defined by a series of concentric defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that encircle the hilltop, characteristic of late prehistoric fortified settlements in southern Britain. The monument dates to the Iron Age period, representing a significant example of the defensive architecture employed by Iron Age communities in the region. The earthworks remain substantially visible today, preserving evidence of the structural investment and social organisation required to construct and maintain such a substantial fortification.
