Holmbury Camp is a small Iron Age hillfort. The defences consist of double ramparts and ditches to the north and west, triple scarping to the south and double scarping to the east; the north-west and south-west angles have been eroded by quarrying. Finds included pottery, flints, beehive quern stone fragments and sling pebbles.
