Whitsbury hillfort is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Wiltshire, England. The site is defined by a single substantial defensive rampart enclosing an irregular roughly circular area, characteristic of univallate hillforts of the region. Occupation and use of the site is broadly dated to the Iron Age period, though the precise chronology of construction and habitation remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The hillfort represents a significant example of Iron Age settlement strategy in southern Britain, reflecting the defensive and territorial concerns of communities during this period.
