Dunmallard is a small multivallate hillfort located in Cumberland, England. The site is characterized by multiple concentric defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that encircle the hilltop position, a defensive arrangement typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in northern Britain. The monument dates to the Iron Age period, when such hillforts served as focal points for territorial control, defence, and possibly seasonal gatherings or administrative functions. The surviving earthworks remain substantially visible and form an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement patterns in the northern English landscape.
