Source: "The hillfort on King John's Hill is unusually small in area... lend support to a local tradition that King John had a royal hunting lodge built on the hill's summit. Further support is lent by documentary evidence... the monument includes a small multivallate hillfort of Late Iron Age date..." (Historic England)
