Buckland Leaflet map

Buckland Rings is a rare, well-preserved multivallate Iron Age hillfort with triple banks and double ditches, important in the Hampshire/Dorset basin. The eastern entrance was partly ploughed and houses were later built near the outer bank. The manor house core likely dates to the late 16th century under John Burton and was the largest house in Old Lymington in 1673. An avenue of lime trees and historic driveway retain the original parkland setting. Southampton Road was turnpiked in 1765 and the nearby toll house and inn date from the 18th century. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument; surrounding fields and the manor complex contain medieval and earlier archaeological remains. Woodland, views, and historic
