Caer Caradoc is a small multivallate hillfort situated near Church Stretton in Shropshire, England. The site comprises multiple defensive ramparts and ditches enclosing an interior of approximately one hectare, characteristic of Iron Age fortification design. Archaeological evidence and topographical features indicate construction during the Iron Age, likely within the later prehistoric period, when such hillforts served defensive and administrative functions across the Welsh borderlands. The monument remains substantially visible in the modern landscape, preserving earthwork remains that reflect the engineering capabilities and settlement patterns of its era.
