Arbury Banks is a Iron Age hillfort located in Hertfordshire, England. The monument comprises a defensive earthwork consisting of a substantial bank and ditch system that encloses an irregular area of approximately 3.5 hectares. The site dates to the Iron Age period, likely constructed during the later Iron Age when such hillforts served as centres of settlement, trade, and territorial control in southern Britain. The earthworks remain prominently visible today, forming one of the notable defensive structures of the Iron Age in the region.
