Quarley Hill

Quarley Hill is the site of an Iron Age univallate hill fort in Hampshire, southern England [1]. Oval in plan, the fort is in good condition with a counter-scarp and well defined entrances at north-east and south-west [1]. It is built on the site of an earlier palisade enclosure [1]. There is evidence of prehistoric activity in the area including four large Bronze Age ditches radiating from the hill fort, believed to be part of a Bronze Age farming settlement, and a barrow cemetery about a mile away to the north [1]. The site is at grid reference SU263423, to the south-west of the village of Quarley [1]. The Port Way Roman road passes just to the south of the hill [1]. The hill's summit is at 172 metres above sea level [1].
