Caer Caradoc is a small multivallate hillfort located near Church Stretton in Shropshire, England. The site comprises multiple defensive ramparts enclosing an interior plateau, typical of Iron Age hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period. The monument occupies a commanding position on elevated terrain, from which it would have offered strategic views across the surrounding landscape and served functions both defensive and territorial in nature. Like many hillforts of its class, Caer Caradoc likely functioned as a settlement, refuge, or administrative centre during the Iron Age, though the specific chronology and intensity of occupation remain subjects for archaeological investigation.
