Balksbury hillfort

The National Heritage List for England records Balksbury hillfort as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Balksbury hillfort is a prehistoric defensive earthwork, likely dating to the early medieval period or earlier. While primarily associated with ancient rather than fairy folklore, such sites were often later linked to local legends involving hidden peoples or supernatural beings.
