Oliver's Battery is a village south west of Winchester. It adjoins the city, so it's really a suburb. The quaint name derives from the prehistoric earth work which was used as a camp by Oliver Cromwell during the Civil War. Today, there is mainly 1960s residential development and the shops seem to be the heart of the place.
