Whitsbury Castle
Whitsbury Castle, or Whitsbury Castle Ditches, is the site of an Iron Age univallate hillfort located near the village of Whitsbury in Hampshire. The fort is roughly pear-shaped, located on a chalk outcrop, and covering approximately sixteen acres. The defenses comprise two large ramparts with outer ditches and an additional counter scarp bank on the northern half.〔http://www.hants.gov.uk/hampshiretreasures/vol05/page317.html Hampshire Treasures website〕 The original entrance was at the southwestern corner but has been destroyed by the construction of a post-medieval manor house. The site has been in use throughout the ages, with excavation revealing mesolithic activity, an association with a Bronze Age ranch boundary, an Iron Age hillfort settlement, followed much later by Anglo-Saxon renovation and reuse of the defences.〔http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=11334 The Megalithic Portal〕 The site is privately owned but is flanked externally on all sides but east by public bridleways.
The site is listed as a scheduled ancient monument no.94.
