Buzbury Rings is a causewayed enclosure and Iron Age defended settlement, situated at the summit of Keynston Down near Blandford Forum, Dorset. Geophysical and lidar surveys reveal a D-shaped Neolithic causewayed enclosure formed the basis of the settlement which continued in use, evolving in form, up until the Iron Age. The earthworks survive as an inner enclosed area of approximately 2.5 acres defined by a single rampart bank. Within this inner enclosure are several circular depressions measuring from 6ft up to 10ft in diameter, representing buildings. It is within the council area of Dorset.
