Caer Dane is a prehistoric hillfort located near Padstow in north Cornwall. The monument comprises a substantial ramparted enclosure situated on elevated ground, with defensive earthworks characteristic of Iron Age fortifications. The site's strategic position and structural design suggest its use as a settlement and defensive stronghold during the later prehistoric period. Limited archaeological investigation has been undertaken at Caer Dane, and much of its chronology and detailed history remain incompletely understood, though the surviving earthworks demonstrate the sophistication of Iron Age settlement patterns in southwest England.
