Arbury Banks is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort situated near Ashby-cum-Fenby in Northamptonshire. The monument comprises a series of defensive earthwork banks and ditches forming an irregular enclosure, characteristic of late prehistoric defensive architecture in the East Midlands region. Dating to the Iron Age, likely the later Iron Age period, the site represents a significant territorial or settlement centre of that era. The earthworks remain substantially visible in the landscape, though their precise chronology and functional interpretation continue to be informed by archaeological investigation and landscape survey.
