Tidbury Ring

Tidbury Ring is the site of an Iron Age univallate hillfort located in Hampshire. The earthworks have been heavily destroyed by ploughing, but some sections to the south remain in better condition. The entrance lies to the southeast of the fort. The interior is for the most part farmland with the earthworks now covered by small trees and undergrowth Two Roman buildings, possibly a courtyard villa complex were found within the hill-fort. The site is now listed as a scheduled ancient monument no.87

Excavations

Among the “usual debris” of a Roman British building they found two brass coins of the reign of Constantine the Great. One coin, in very good condition, cast in London prior to 311 A.D.
