Buckland Rings, Iron Age hillfort in Lymington, England.
The fortified enclosure spans 2.8 hectares and features three banks with double ditches, standing 27 meters above sea level near the A337 road.
Excavations in 1935 revealed wall-and-fill structures supported by timber beams, along with postholes indicating the presence of entrance gates and defensive features.
The site contains remnants of roundhouses from 2000 years ago, where early inhabitants traded goods across Britain and lived in wooden structures.
The monument is managed by Hampshire County Council and accessible through designated paths, though visitors need to consider limited parking near private properties.
This hillfort stands at one of the lowest elevations among British hillforts and maintains a rectangular shape instead of the typical rounded design.
