A causewayed enclosure on Windmill Hill is part of a complex prehistoric landscape that includes a round barrow cemetery, field systems, and a mortuary enclosure, dating primarily to the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. While not typically classified as a fairy fort, such sites were later associated with folklore, sometimes being linked to otherworldly or supernatural significance in medieval and later traditions.
