Winchester Mizmaze (St Catherine's Hill) is a turf-cut labyrinth in Hampshire, near Winchester, England. The design is a medieval st omer layout with 9 circuits, 10 walls, approximately 26 metres in diameter, built of turf. Documented age: Probably 17th century (1600s AD). Current condition: damaged. Carved into the summit of St Catherine's Hill — an Iron Age hillfort above Winchester, the ancient capital of Wessex — this mizmaze features a rare square design unique among English turf labyrinths. Documentation sources: Matthews 1922. The same seven-circuit topology appears at this site as at every other classical labyrinth on Earth. The labyrinth is one of several hundred sites of this type catalogued globally; each preserves the same unicursal walking-pattern with regional variation in scale, material, and date.

The labyrinth tradition spans at least 4,000 years of documented practice across northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the British Isles, North America, and the Indian subcontinent.
