Dragon Hill is a chalk hill fort and prominent natural landmark located near Uffington in Berkshire. The site consists of a roughly square or rectangular enclosure defined by a single bank and ditch, situated on the summit of a steep chalk hill, and dates to the Iron Age, likely to the later prehistoric period. The monument occupies a commanding position in the landscape and has long been associated with local legend, most notably the dragon-slaying narrative connected to the nearby Uffington White Horse. The sparse archaeological evidence suggests it functioned as a defended settlement or stronghold, though the precise chronology and duration of occupation remain subjects of scholarly inquiry.
