King John's Hill

King John's Hill is an Iron Age multivallate hillfort in the parish of Worldham, East Hampshire, rising 129 m above sea level. Dated on ceramic evidence to approximately 100 BC, the site was partially excavated in 1939 and 1947, revealing pottery fragments and two infilled storage pits. Medieval reoccupation is evidenced by 13th-14th century building traces and pottery, supporting the tradition of a royal hunting lodge associated with King John. Tudor-period remains include wall sections, packed floors, bricks, tiles, and ovens. The hillfort is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (list entry 1020314).
