Horsenden Hill is a Iron Age hillfort located in Greenford, Middlesex. The monument consists of a univallate enclosure defined by a substantial ditch and bank system, which encloses an area of approximately 12 acres at the summit of the hill. Occupation evidence and artefactual material indicate settlement activity during the Iron Age period, though the precise chronology and duration of use remain matters of archaeological study. The hillfort's strategic position overlooking the valley of the River Brent would have offered defensive advantages and control over local routeways during the later prehistoric period.
