Bury Castle is a hillfort located in Cornwall, England, dating to the Iron Age period. The monument consists of defensive earthworks comprising a series of banks and ditches that enclose an area on elevated terrain, a characteristic defensive arrangement of Iron Age settlement sites in south-western Britain. The site represents an important example of prehistoric fortified settlement in the region, reflecting patterns of territorial control and communal defence during the late prehistoric period. The specific layout and construction of the earthworks provide evidence of the engineering capabilities and settlement strategies of Iron Age communities in Cornwall.
