Cley Hill is a complex ancient monument in Wiltshire comprising multiple features spanning several millennia. The prominent Iron Age hillfort crowns the summit, defended by multiple ramparts and ditches that command views across the surrounding landscape. Two Bronze Age bowl barrows are situated on the hill, representing earlier ritual and burial activity on the site. Medieval strip lynchets and a cross dyke visible on the slopes testify to agricultural use and land management during the medieval period, demonstrating the site's continuous significance from prehistory through the medieval era.
