Maiden Castle (Dorchester) Hillfort View all content for Maiden Castle (Dorchester)

It's not hard to see why local legend has it this fort was built by giants. It also has an interestingly recent bit of folklore: it is said that during WW2 the Home Guard made use of a tunnel which connects the site with Dorchester, two miles away. (J&C Bord, 'Atlas of Magical Britain')
