Maiden Castle is traditionally a place where the fairies gathered for feasting. It is also said that some labourers were once passing the fort and saw lights hovering above its entrance - they believed these were fairies. (Janet Bord, in her 2004 book 'Fairy Sites', using Roberts' article 'Fairy Rings' in Earth Giant 2.) Here's a more recent reporting of Strange Lights as well (read down to the comment at the end): http://www.bbc.co.uk/dorset/content/articles/2006/03/22/unexplained_feature.shtml
