The Frith

The Frith is a small univallate Iron Age hillfort to the north of Silchester, Calleva Atrebatum, Roman town in the English county of Hampshire. A single bank covers all sides apart from the south east, and is at the most about 5 ft high on the western edge. A ditch is also traceable for the length of the bank, although at varying states.

The area to the north and northwest is partially wooded. A local footpath crosses the site east to west. The site slopes from approximately 90 to 95 m in the west, with the summit of the unnamed hill (102 m AOD) approximately 500 m to the southwest. Close by to the south lies a Roman road heading into Calleva Atrebatum. Also nearby, 500 m to the west, lies a further smaller unidentified enclosure.

Location
The site is within Benyon's Inclosure to the North of Silchester, part of Mortimer West End Civil Parish, in the county of Hampshire
