King John's Hill

 * ... that the summit of King John's Hill, near Alton in Hampshire, was an unusually small Iron Age hillfort, and later is traditionally reckoned to have been a hunting lodge of King John? Source: "The hillfort on King John's Hill is unusually small in area... lend support to a local tradition that King John had a royal hunting lodge built on the hill's summit. Further support is lent by documentary evidence... the monument includes a small multivallate hillfort of Late Iron Age date..." (Historic England)
 * ALT1:... that on King John's Hill stood an unusually small Iron Age hillfort?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg	New enough, long, enough, and within policy. Interesting article, and the word "hillfort" drew me in. I provided ALT1 as a shorter alternative to the first hook. The image of tiny old fort standing on an English hill is still there. Morganfitzp (talk) 02:57, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
