Garmsley Hill Fort is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Herefordshire, England. The site represents Iron Age defensive settlement architecture, characteristic of the fortified hilltop settlements that emerged across the English Midlands during the later prehistoric period. The fort's physical remains comprise earthwork defences typical of such sites, including substantial ramparts and ditches that would have enclosed and protected a settlement area. As a scheduled monument and heritage asset, Garmsley Hill Fort contributes to the archaeological record of Iron Age social organization and territorial control in the Welsh Marches region.
