The origins of Maiden Castle date back to around 2000 BC, with various phases of construction and expansion occurring throughout the Iron Age. Archaeological evidence suggests that it was a significant political and ceremonial center, possibly serving as a royal residence or a place of refuge for local leaders. 5.
