Uffington Castle is a univallate hillfort situated on Whitehorse Hill in Berkshire, positioned immediately north of the Ridgeway. The fort encloses approximately 8.5 hectares and is defined by a single substantial defensive bank with an external ditch, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts in southern Britain. Archaeological evidence and typological analysis suggest the site was constructed during the Middle Iron Age, probably in the fifth or fourth century BCE. The fort commands views across the Vale of the White Horse and represents a significant settlement and defensive position during the pre-Roman Iron Age period.
