Frankenbury is a Iron Age hillfort located near Micheldever in Hampshire, England. The site is defined by a single substantial bank and ditch which enclose an irregular area of approximately four hectares on the chalk downland. Archaeological evidence suggests the fort was constructed during the later Iron Age, likely in the final centuries before the Roman conquest of Britain. The hillfort's defensive earthworks remain clearly visible today, though the site has seen relatively limited modern excavation compared to other Hampshire fortifications.
