What is recorded here
Coney's Castle is an Iron Age hillfort in Dorset where concentric banks and ditches still circle the hilltop. Its outworks stretch beyond the main perimeter, revealing a settlement built for territorial control, storage, and refuge. The preserved earthworks record sophisticated military engineering from the later prehistoric period in southwest England.
The National Heritage List for England records Small multivallate hillfort with outworks called Coney's Castle 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
