The obelisk at Weatherby Castle is a Grade II listed brick folly, built in 1761 by Edmund Morton Pleydell, the owner of the nearby Milborne House, and it stands today within the centre of the ancient Iron Age hillfort earthworks in Dorset. Inscribed with "EMP 1761," the structure was originally erected to be a striking focal point, likely visible from the owner's estate across the valley, but the surrounding hillfort has since become heavily wooded, meaning the 60-foot tall obelisk is now a hidden gem only revealed to those who venture into the dense woodland on the hill's summit.
