Large multivallate hillfort containing two bowl barrows 855m north east of North Eggardon Farm is an Iron Age defensive earthwork located in Dorset. The monument consists of multiple concentric ramparts and ditches characteristic of multivallate hillfort construction, a form of fortified settlement typical of the later Iron Age in southern Britain. The site incorporates two bowl barrows, indicating earlier Bronze Age burial activity on or near the fortified location, suggesting the hillfort was constructed on ground already valued by preceding populations. The combination of Iron Age military architecture with Bronze Age funerary monuments makes this a palimpsest of settlement and ceremonial use spanning at least a thousand years of prehistoric activity.
