A prominent chalk hill to the south-east of Winchester. The hilltop consists of the remains of an Iron Age hill-fort and its surrounding slopes were noted by the SPNR for their butterflies and chalk grassland flora, including orchids. Since 1976, it has been a nature reserve managed by the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust who have been restoring the ancient grasslands.
