Hoo Fort is a scheduled ancient monument located in the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. The fort dates to the Iron Age and represents a significant defensive structure of the pre-Roman period in south-eastern England. It comprises an enclosed settlement defined by substantial earthwork defences, including ditches and banks that once protected the inhabitants from external threats. The site provides important archaeological evidence for settlement patterns and defensive strategies employed by Iron Age communities in the Kent region during the centuries immediately preceding the Roman conquest of Britain.
