Fort Royal is a multivallate iron age hillfort located near Ombersley in Worcestershire, England. The site comprises two concentric defensive circuits of banks and ditches that enclose approximately two hectares, typical of late iron age fortifications in the Midlands region. Archaeological evidence and topographical analysis suggest occupation during the late iron age, probably in the final centuries before the Roman conquest of Britain. The fort's strategic position on rising ground overlooking the River Salwarpe reflects the defensive considerations of iron age communities in the West Midlands.
