Norsebury Ring, Iron Age hillfort in Micheldever, England.
The fort features inner ramparts and outer counterscarp banks separated by shallow ditches, with better preserved sections in the north and west areas.
Archaeological excavations at Norsebury Ring revealed evidence of Bronze Age pottery, Iron Age settlements, and subsequent Roman period occupation spanning several centuries.
The name Norsebury originates from Naesan Byrg, meaning Fort at the Ness, representing the historical linguistic evolution of place names in Hampshire.
Located on a chalk ridge overlooking River Dever, the fort encompasses 4 hectares of level ground with extensive views in most directions.
A magnetometer survey in 1997 identified two entrances and a central sub-circular enclosure that potentially contained a timber shrine similar to other Iron Age sites.
