Coney's Castle is an Iron Age hillfort in Dorset, England [1]. The name Coney is from the Old English for rabbit (Latin cuniculus), suggesting medieval use as a domestic warren, as at nearby Pilsdon Pen [1]. The fort is on a narrow north–south ridge reaching a height of 210 m, with linear ramparts across the ridge, steep natural slopes to the west and a high artificial rampart with ditch to the east [1]. A small lane runs along the ridge, bisecting the hillfort [1].
