Woolsbarrow Hillfort is located in a clearing in the forests of Bloxworth Heath. The nearest town is Bere Regis, about 3+1⁄4 miles (5.2 km) to the west-northwest of the hillfort. The heath is a popular walking area and the site can be reached by public footpath. Woolsbarrow is a slight univallate hillfort on a flat-topped knoll on the plateau of Bloxworth Heath, which separates the rivers Sherford to the east and Piddle to the west. The hillfort is marked by a single rampart about 20 feet (6.1 m) below the top of the gravel knoll and covers an area of around 2+1⁄4 acres (0.91 ha). The eastern part of the hillfort has been damaged by sand and gravel extraction, but much of it survives well and has the potential for further archaeological evidence to be uncovered. It is one of only about 150 slight univallate hillforts nationally and is of national importance.

Dating back to the 9th-5th centuries BC, this relatively low-lying hillfort rises out of Bloxworth Heath. The heath itself has plenty of hiking trails criss-crossing it as well as an abundance of insect, bird and wildlife. There's a trig pillar on top of the fort, at 220 feet (67 m) and if you ramble about the fort a little, you'll find interesting views of the undulating heathland.
