Immerse yourself in the past as you discover the unique archaeological finds and historical significance of The Frith, a hidden gem in the Hampshire countryside.

The Frith, a small univallate hillfort, lies to the north of Silchester, in Hampshire, England. It originates from the Iron Age, featuring a single bank encircling all sides, save for the south-east, standing approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) high on the western edge. The area to the north and north-west of The Frith is part wooded. A local footpath crosses The Frith from east to west. Archaeological findings near hillforts like The Frith indicate that they may have been crucial cultural and social centers.
