Burrough Hill is an Iron Age hillfort in Burrough on the Hill, 7 miles (11 km) south of Melton Mowbray in the English county of Leicestershire. Situated on a promontory about 210 metres (690 ft) above sea level, the site commands views over the surrounding countryside for miles around. There has been human activity in the area since at least the Mesolithic, and the hillfort was founded in the early Iron Age. In the medieval period, after the hillfort was abandoned, the hill was used as farmland. This ended in the 17th century when the parish the hill was in was enclosed. Traces of ridge and furrow show where the medieval fields were ploughed. Since the 1930s the site has been the subject of archaeological investigations and renewed excavations under the auspices of the University of Leicester began in 2010. Part of Burrough Hill Country Park and open to the public, the hillfort is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. According to archaeologist Dr Jeremy Taylor "sites like Burrough Hill were the nearest thing we have to a town before places like Leicester ever existed".

Ankle Hill is a hill located in the centre of Melton Mowbray, in Leicestershire. In February 1645 during the First English Civil War the town of Melton Mowbray was the scene of a battle between Sir Marmaduke Langdale's Royalist force of 1,500 men and the Roundhead garrison commanded by Colonel Sir Edward Rossiter which was stationed in the town. The battle took place on a hillside near the present day town centre, and it is said that the blood of the slaughtered Roundheads pooled ankle deep at its base. Thenceforth the hill was known as Ankle Hill, however at some point in history the names of Dalby Road and Ankle Hill were unintentionally swapped in error, and were never changed back.
