Caerbre is a Iron Age hillfort situated in Shropshire, England. The site occupies a commanding position and is defined by defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that would have served to protect its inhabitants and livestock. The hillfort dates to the pre-Roman Iron Age period, representing a significant settlement and defensive centre of its era. Such hillforts were characteristic of later prehistoric Britain and played important roles in regional territorial control and community organisation during the centuries before Roman conquest.
