Castle Crag is a slight univallate hillfort located in Westmorland, England. The monument is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular hilltop position, characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in northern England. Its modest earthwork defences suggest occupation during the later prehistoric period, likely serving as a defended settlement or strategic stronghold for a local community. The site's position within the Westmorland landscape reflects the broader pattern of hillforts constructed across northern Britain during the first millennium before the Common Era.
