Norsebury Ring is a Iron Age hillfort located in Hampshire, England. The site is defined by a single substantial bank and ditch enclosing an oval or circular area, typical of univallate hillfort construction of the Iron Age period. Its precise dating within the Iron Age remains uncertain, though the monument likely served defensive and possibly administrative functions characteristic of such fortifications. The site's location and scale suggest it formed part of the broader pattern of hillfort settlement in southern Hampshire during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
