Dingerein Castle is a small multivallate hillfort with an associated annexe situated near Curgurrel Farm in Cornwall. The monument comprises concentric earthwork defences typical of Iron Age hillforts, demonstrating the defensive strategies employed during the later prehistoric period. The site's physical character, defined by its multiple vallate systems, indicates investment in fortification that would have served both defensive and possibly territorial functions for its Iron Age inhabitants. Such multivallate hillforts are characteristic of south-western England during the late Iron Age, though the specific dating and chronology of Dingerein Castle remain dependent upon archaeological investigation rather than extensive excavation records.
