Coney's Castle, Iron Age contour fort in Whitchurch Canonicorum, England
Located on a 210-meter-high ridge, Coney's Castle features linear ramparts along its length and steep natural slopes on the western side.
The medieval name Coney originates from the Old English term for rabbit, as the site served as a domestic warren during the Middle Ages.
The National Trust manages this scheduled monument alongside Lambert's Castle, preserving important evidence of Iron Age defensive engineering and settlement patterns.
A dedicated car park situated next to the north rampart provides access to the site, with the Wessex Ridgeway trail passing through the ridge.
The fort contains two separate enclosed areas divided by a small lane, creating a distinct layout among Iron Age defensive structures.
