The trig point at Spetisbury Rings is a distinctive feature located on the summit of the ancient Iron Age hillfort, offering excellent panoramic views of the surrounding Dorset countryside and the Stour Valley.
Location: The trig point is situated on the highest point of Spetisbury Rings (also historically known as Crawford Castle), an Iron Age hillfort just south of the village of Spetisbury, Dorset.

Purpose: A trigonometrical station (or "trig point") is a concrete pillar used by the Ordnance Survey (OS) for the triangulation of Great Britain. They mark a point of high elevation and visibility, which is why they are often found on the summits of hills and mountains.

Elevation: The hillfort's summit, where the trig point is located, reaches an elevation of approximately 81 metres (266 feet) above sea level.
