Oliver Cromwell's Battery: Iron Age enclosure reused as a Civil War battery

The National Heritage List for England records Oliver Cromwell's Battery: Iron Age enclosure reused as a Civil War battery 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.

Oliver Cromwell's Battery is a prehistoric enclosure, originally an Iron Age defensive structure, later repurposed as a Civil War artillery position. While its early-medieval use is not explicitly confirmed, its long history of reuse reflects both ancient and 17th-century military activity; local tradition links its name to the English Civil War, though not to any specific event involving Oliver Cromwell himself.
