Fort Royal is a Iron Age hillfort located near Ombersley in Worcestershire. The site occupies a commanding position and is defined by substantial earthwork defences consisting of banks and ditches that enclosed an area of settlement and activity. The fort represents the settlement patterns and defensive strategies employed by Iron Age communities in the Midlands during the pre-Roman period. Its archaeological significance lies in its contribution to understanding the distribution and character of hillforts across the region during the later prehistoric period.
