Hickley Wood hillfort is an Iron Age fortification located in Hampshire, England. The site is defined by a single substantial defensive bank and ditch that enclose an irregular area of approximately one hectare, representing a relatively modest hillfort by regional standards. Archaeological evidence suggests occupation during the Iron Age period, when such fortified settlements served as administrative, defensive, or communal centres across southern Britain. The monument survives as an earthwork, with the defensive features still traceable in the modern landscape despite agricultural use of the surrounding terrain.
