The Hillock is the ancient centre of the village of Ribchester, Lancashire, England. Now located directly in front of the White Bull public house, and used for public parking,[1][2] it dates to the 1st century.[3] It is bounded to the west and south by Church Street and to the east by Water Street.
A Commons Registration Act 1965 decision in November 1980 upheld a 1955 land grant that permitted Duttons, then the brewery of the White Bull, to use the land as a car park.[1]
