Iron Age field system, banjo enclosure and Romano-British villa, 500m east of Woodham Farm is a multi-period archaeological site in Hampshire combining evidence of Iron Age and Romano-British settlement. The site encompasses an Iron Age field system with an associated banjo enclosure, a characteristic defensive farmstead form of the late Iron Age, alongside the remains of a Romano-British villa that represents continuity or reoccupation of the landscape during the Roman period. The banjo enclosure, named for its distinctive shape with a circular main enclosure connected to a narrow entrance corridor, reflects the agricultural and defensive practices of Iron Age communities in southern Britain. The presence of both Iron Age and Romano-British structural phases indicates sustained settlement activity and demonstrates the transition between Iron Age and Roman land use patterns in Hampshire.
