Colstey Bank Iron Age enclosure is a hillfort monument located in Shropshire, England, dating to the Iron Age period. The site comprises a defensive enclosure formed by substantial earthwork banks and ditches, typical of fortified settlements constructed during the later prehistoric period. Such enclosures served as centres of population, storage, and defence, reflecting the social organisation and territorial control of Iron Age communities in the West Midlands region. The monument remains visible as earthwork features on the landscape and represents an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement patterns in Shropshire.
