Dragon Hill is a prehistoric earthwork located near Uffington in Berkshire, comprising a roughly rectangular enclosure formed by a single bank and ditch. The monument dates to the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age, though its precise chronology remains uncertain. The site sits adjacent to Uffington Castle, the nearby Iron Age hillfort, and its function has been interpreted variously as a ritual or ceremonial site, a livestock enclosure, or a territorial marker, though scholarly consensus on its purpose has not been established. The distinctive white chalk figure of the Uffington White Horse, a geoglyph of later date, dominates the landscape immediately above Dragon Hill.
