Frankenbury Camp, Iron Age hillfort in Hampshire, England
The earthwork structure spans 11 acres on a promontory, featuring steep natural slopes on the west and south sides with ramparts and ditches to the northeast.
The archaeological site dates from the Iron Age period, when communities constructed defensive settlements across southern Britain to protect their territories.
Archaeological excavations at Frankenbury Camp revealed numerous artifacts, including pottery fragments and coins from both Iron Age and Roman periods, now displayed at Salisbury Museum.
The site functions as pasture land within Folds Farm, with accessible walking paths leading through tree-lined earthworks and woodland areas.
A Durotrigian silver stater, discovered in 1969 at Tinker's Cross garden, demonstrates the monetary systems used by early inhabitants of this fortified settlement.
