Damerham Knoll Camp Iron Age Hillfort in Hampshire

An Iron Age univallate hillfort on a ridge just northeast of Damerham Knoll. The defences are slight, almost puny, compared to the nearby Whitsbury hillfort and the enclosed area (roughly 150m in diameter) is now mostly overgrown with trees and brambles.

Access A footpath from Knap Barrow farm to Rockbourne runs SE along the ridge through the centre of the hillfort, leaving through the original SE entrance. An approach from any direction will require an uphill walk of at least 2km. This natural vantage point provides splendid views over the surrounding countryside, used by people throughout prehistory who have left their mark in the form of round and long barrows on the downs to the northeast.
