Norsebury Ring is a prehistoric hillfort located in Hampshire, England. The monument comprises a roughly circular enclosure defined by a single bank and ditch, typical of Iron Age defensive settlements in southern England. Dating to the Iron Age period, the site represents a significant example of the fortified settlements that characterised the landscape during the first millennium before the Common Era. The earthwork remains visible as an archaeological feature, though its exact function within the broader settlement hierarchy of the Hampshire Iron Age has not been definitively established by excavation.
