Knoll Camp

Knoll Camp is a circular earthwork in Rockbourne, England, spanning four acres with a single ditch, inner ramparts, and traces of a counter scarp bank. The structure displays typical defensive engineering of Iron Age settlements.

This fort was built during the Iron Age to serve as a strategic defense for settlements in the region. It reflects the military building techniques that Iron Age peoples used to protect their communities.

This site connects to a network of burial mounds and fortifications across Hampshire that once held significance for Iron Age communities. The landscape reflects how these groups organized their sacred and defensive spaces.

Visitors can reach this site via a footpath that runs southeast along the ridge through the center of the fort. Sturdy footwear is recommended due to the terrain and vegetation.

The interior is filled with dense woodland and brambles that partially conceal the archaeological features of this protected site. This natural growth makes exploration both adventurous and physically demanding.
