Hamble Common Camp, Iron Age hillfort in Hampshire, England
The archaeological site contains earthworks and fortifications spread across 22 hectares of land bounded by Southampton Water and the River Hamble.
Originally constructed during the Iron Age, the site later incorporated St Andrews Castle in 1542 as part of the defensive structures along the Solent.
Archaeological investigations of the site reveal patterns of early British settlements and defense strategies through preserved banks, ditches, and structural remains.
The Eastleigh Borough Council maintains walking paths throughout the archaeological site, connecting to both the Solent Way and Hamble Rail Trail.
A replica Bofors Gun was installed on one of the original gun platforms in 1989 before being relocated due to coastal erosion concerns.
