Rockbourne Roman Villa Rockbourne Roman Villa was discovered in 1942 by a local farmer and excavated by A. T. Morley Hewitt over the next 30 years. The main structure was a large residence surrounding a courtyard, including luxurious Roman mosaics and bath suites. Its origins lie in the Iron Age and it was occupied until the 5th century.

Mizmaze A mizmaze forms a pattern unlike conventional mazes and is classed as a labyrinth because the path has no junctions or crossings. The pattern appears more like a very long rope, neatly arranged to fill the area.

Whitsbury Castle Whitsbury Castle is the site of an Iron Age univallate hillfort. The fort is roughly pear-shaped, located on a chalk outcrop, and covering approximately sixteen acres. The original entrance was at the southwestern corner but has been destroyed by the construction of a post-medieval manor house.

Knoll Camp Knoll Camp, or Damerham Knoll, is the site of an Iron Age univallate hill fort located in Hampshire. The fort comprises a circular earthwork containing about four acres. There is a single ditch with inner rampart and traces of counter scarp bank.
