    Long before the Iron Age hillfort, Maiden Castle (often referred to as Maiden Hill) hosted two significant Neolithic monuments dating to 3500 BC. These include a causewayed enclosure—a ritual gathering place with concentric ditches—and a massive bank barrow stretching 546 meters. These earthworks represent some of Britain’s earliest monumental architecture, marking the site as a sacred landscape for millennia.
