Information

Lockerley Camp is the site of an Iron Age univallate hillfort in Hampshire, to the east of the village of Lockerley.

The fort is on a low gravel-capped plateau at 130 feet above sea level, and covers approximately five acres. It is now much reduced by ploughing, for the majority of the site falls into farmland, although a small area to the north is within a small coppice and the earthworks are more discernible here.[1]

Immediately to the north runs the River Dun.
