Castle Bank Enclosure is a prehistoric hillfort located near Witney in Oxfordshire, England. The site comprises a substantial univallate enclosure defined by a single defensive bank and ditch, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in the region. Archaeological survey and finds indicate occupation during the later Iron Age, when such enclosed sites served as focal points for settlement, storage, and possibly ceremonial activity. The earthwork remains visible as a prominent topographical feature and represents an important example of Iron Age land use and defensive architecture in the Upper Thames valley.
