Clanfield Earthwork

In the civil parish of Clanfield.
In the historic county of Hampshire (Modern Authority of Hampshire, 1974 county of Hampshire).

The site of an uncertain circular ringwork of platform type beside the London Portsmouth Road, associated with a probably Bronze Age saucer barrow. This site would guard the main road at the point where it enters the Downs and is confined, so not implausable as medieval castle, but since remains gone and with no associated medieval sites or finds has to be doubtful.

This site has been described as a;
Timber Castle.
The confidence that this site is a medieval fortification or palace is Questionable.
Cropmarks/slight earthworks remains.
