What is recorded here
Lambert's Castle is an Iron Age hillfort 425m west of Nash Farm in Dorset, where a bowl barrow still marks the hill. The same ground later held a post-medieval fair and a telegraph station, so people kept returning to see, trade and send news from that ridge.
The National Heritage List for England records Lambert's Castle: an Iron Age hillfort 425m west of Nash Farm, with a bowl barrow, and the sites of a post-medieval fair and a telegraph station 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.
Lambert's Castle is an Iron Age hillfort, likely built between 800 and 400 BCE, and is important as a defensive and strategic site from the prehistoric period. It is also associated with later uses, including a post-medieval fair and a telegraph station, reflecting its ongoing local significance.
