Toothill Fort, or Toothill Ring, or Toothill camp, is the site of an Iron Age univallate hill fort located in Hampshire [1]. The site occupies an extremely strong position at the north end of a spur [1]. Its defences comprise a single rampart and ditch with traces of a counterscarp bank in places [1]. There is an additional scarp on the north side up to 2.0m in height where the site is weakest [1]. The name "Toot hill" literally means lookout hill [1]. The site is located at grid reference SU463429, and between the towns of Southampton and Romsey [1].
