Coney's Castle

Coney's Castle is an Iron Age hillfort in Dorset, England.

The name Coney is from the Old English for rabbit (Latin cuniculus), 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 hillfort.

[3] The site is looked after by the National Trust as is Lambert's Castle about 1.5 km to the north.
