Carl Wark is a small univallate hillfort located near Hathersage in Derbyshire, England. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch that enclose approximately one hectare on a steep rocky outcrop. Dating evidence suggests occupation during the Iron Age, though the precise chronology remains debated among scholars. The hillfort's dramatic topography, utilising natural rock outcrops for defence, represents a characteristic form of upland fortification in the Peak District region during the later prehistoric period.
