What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Multivallate hillfort at Hunsbury Hill 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.
A multivallate hillfort at Hunsbury Hill is a prehistoric defensive earthwork, likely dating to the early medieval or Iron Age period, characterized by multiple concentric banks and ditches. While primarily an ancient fortification, such sites were later often associated with folklore, including beliefs in fairy hauntings or supernatural activity in the region.
