Oliver's Battery is a civil parish in Hampshire, England, of some 700 households located just to the south of the City of Winchester.
The ancient earthwork may well have provided a suitable campsite for the besieging Parliamentarian forces, but cannon of the period would have lacked the range to fire on Winchester Castle and city walls from the so-called battery site.
Permanent settlements only appeared in the early years of the twentieth century with the establishment of a military camp.
A southern Winchester park-and-ride scheme opened in 2010 and is intended to reduce rush-hour congestion on this road.
The Catholic school and church are in Oliver's Battery Road North, and therefore not within the civil parish.
