Carl Wark is a univallate hillfort located near Hathersage in the High Peak area of Derbyshire. The site comprises a single defensive rampart enclosing an irregular polygonal area on a rocky hilltop, taking advantage of natural steep slopes to the north and east. Dating evidence suggests occupation during the Iron Age, though the precise chronology remains debated among archaeologists. The fort's defensive works and strategic position overlooking the surrounding landscape indicate its function as a stronghold during the later prehistoric period.
