Buzbury Rings, Iron Age fortification site in Tarrant Keyneston, England.
The circular hillfort encompasses two enclosures on Keynston Down, with the inner section measuring 3 acres and the outer section spanning 10 acres.
Archaeological excavations reveal continuous occupation from Iron Age through Roman periods, with pottery and artifacts found primarily within the inner enclosure area.
The fortification forms part of an ancient network connecting the River Stour to Cranborne Chase through a Neolithic causeway system.
A modern road, the B3082, cuts through the archaeological site, while a golf course occupies the northeastern section of the ancient fortification.
Geophysical surveys conducted in 2006 identified a D-shaped Neolithic causewayed enclosure, representing the earliest construction phase at the site.
