What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Pilsdon Pen hillfort and associated remains 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.
Pilsdon Pen hillfort and associated remains is an Iron Age defensive earthwork located on a prominent hilltop in southern England. While primarily associated with the earlier historic period, later folklore linked it to fairy activity, a common theme for such prominent prehistoric sites in Celtic tradition.
