Spetisbury is home to the Iron Age fortifications known as Spetisbury Rings.
Destroyed by Roman advances in the first century A.D. The earthworks, known as Spetisbury Rings, was a stronghold of Ionia before the Romans came, and Roman and Briton lie side by side in graves.
The defences of this hill fort consists of a single rampart and ditch on the northern end of a spur overlooking the river Stour.
The construction of the railway in 1857 uncovered a mass-grave of about 120 skeletons, probably the victims of the Roman invasion; part of a Roman shield was also found.
