Dingerein Castle is a small multivallate hillfort situated 240 metres north west of Curgurrel Farm in Cornwall. The monument consists of a defended enclosure with multiple defensive banks and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age hill fort construction in south west England. The site's precise dating and cultural attribution remain subjects of archaeological study, though its form is consistent with fortified settlements of the later prehistoric period. The annexe associated with the main fort indicates a more complex settlement pattern than simple univallate defences, suggesting either expansion of the site or functional differentiation of its interior spaces.
