Lambert's Castle, Iron Age hillfort in Marshwood, United Kingdom
The Lambert's Castle extends across a hilltop at 256 meters elevation, featuring defensive earthworks and steep slopes on three sides of its perimeter.
Constructed approximately 2500 years ago during the Iron Age, this fortification later served as a signal station during the Napoleonic Wars in 1806.
From 1709 to 1947, the site hosted annual fairs that brought together local communities and included horse racing events on the adjacent track.
The National Trust maintains this scheduled monument, offering a dedicated parking area accessible from the B3165 road and level walking paths around the fort.
Natural springs emerge at various geological junctions within the site, creating distinct zones that support rare plant species and butterfly populations.
