Babylon Hill (grid reference ST576155) in Dorset is a 2.2 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest designated in 1977.[1]

It was also the site of a minor skirmish, the Battle of Babylon Hill, during the English Civil War, which resulted in the Earl of Bedford's Roundheads forcing back Sir Ralph Hopton's Cavaliers to Sherborne.[2]
