Hillfort south west of Pond Farm, near Silchester, is a prehistoric fortified enclosure located in Hampshire. The site comprises a substantial univallate or multivallate earthwork of Iron Age date, characteristic of the defensive settlements constructed during the later prehistoric period in southern Britain. Its proximity to Silchester, a major Romano-British settlement, indicates the strategic importance of this locality during antiquity. The earthwork survives as a landscape feature defined by banks and ditches, though its precise dimensions and state of preservation require archaeological investigation to establish its full significance within the settlement hierarchy of Iron Age Hampshire.
