Tatchbury Mount is a Iron Age hillfort located in Hampshire, England. The site comprises a roughly circular enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch, situated on elevated ground that commands views across the surrounding landscape. Dating to the Iron Age, the hillfort represents a significant example of the defended settlements that characterised south-central Britain during the pre-Roman period. The earthwork survives as a notable topographical feature and provides archaeological evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and territorial organisation in the Hampshire region.
