**Damerham Knoll Camp** submitted by JimChampion : May 2005. Looking south at Damerham Knoll from Toyd Down. The Iron Age camp is beneath the trees illuminated by a patch of sunlight - it is not on the very highest point of the knoll (where the trees are highest). The nearest trees on the knoll form the "Bokerley Dyke planation", although Bokerley Dyke itself is quite a few miles distant to the west. (Vote or comment on this photo)

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.
