St Andrew's Castle is a castle site on Hamble Common in Hampshire, England, defined by an Iron Age linear earthwork that encloses a promontory. The earthwork comprises a substantial ditch and bank system that defended a strategically positioned headland, likely dating to the Iron Age period when such fortified enclosures served defensive and administrative functions. The site retains additional archaeological remains associated with later occupation and use. The combination of prehistoric earthworks with castle-period activity demonstrates long-term significance and reuse of this defensible location through successive historical periods.
