Coney's Castle


Coney's Castle is an Iron Age hill fort in Dorset, England. The name Coney is from the Old English for rabbit, suggesting medieval use as a domestic warren, as at nearby Pilsdon Pen.
The fort is on a narrow north-south ridge reaching a height of 210 m,
with linear ramparts across the ridge, steep natural slopes to the west,
and a high artificial rampart with ditch to the east.
A small lane runs along the ridge, bisecting the fort.
The lane is also part of the Wessex Ridgeway long distance trail.
There is a convenient car park next to the north rampart.
Lambert's Castle is about 1.5 km to the north.
