Chilworth Ring is the site of a small univallate Iron Age hillfort located in Hampshire. The site has now been developed into circle of detached houses lying within the ramparts, constructed sometime in the 1960s. The original bank can only be seen in the Eastern quadrant where it is followed by the road. The nearby Castle Hill earthwork to the west is thought to have been a cattle enclosure. The road serving the houses is called The Ring.

Location

The site lies in the Western outskirts of Bassett, a suburban village on the northern outskirts of Southampton, and in the county of Hampshire. The site lies at a summit of 75m AOD.
