Quarley Hill

An Iron Age univallate hillfort near Andover in Hampshire, southern England, enclosing approximately 3.6 hectares in a distinctive pear shape. The fort features well-defined entrances at the northeast and southwest, with a distinguishable rampart around its full circumference and traces of a counter-scarp ditch. It was built over an earlier Bronze Age palisade enclosure and an extensive system of radiating Bronze Age ditches, indicating long-term landscape use. Archaeologist Barry Cunliffe suggested Quarley Hill functioned as a boundary marker within a core territory centered on the larger hillfort at Danebury.
