Old Winchester Hill is a multiphase prehistoric monument located in Hampshire comprising an Iron Age hillfort with associated earthwork features. The site contains an oval barrow and round barrows of Neolithic or Bronze Age date, alongside field systems and an earthwork enclosure that represent occupation and land use spanning several millennia. The hillfort itself, defined by substantial banks and ditches, dates to the Iron Age and would have served as a defended settlement or territorial marker. The survival of these features in their earthwork form provides significant archaeological evidence for prehistoric settlement patterns and agricultural organisation in southern England.
