Perborough Castle is the site of an Iron Age univallate hillfort located at Compton in Berkshire. The site covers approximately , and lies on the chalky downs of West Berkshire. Archaeological evidence, from excavations in 1838, suggest that it was a lightly defended and perhaps a seasonally occupied site, containing no more than a few grain storage pits and slag pits, the extent of these being the obvious sign of continued occupation.http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba39/ba39news.html British Archaeology, Issue no 39, November 1998 Read more on Wikipedia
