Killibury Castle is a late Iron Age hillfort located near Wadebridge in north Cornwall, England. The site is defended by multiple concentric ramparts and ditches that enclose an oval interior, characteristic of hillfort fortifications from the later prehistoric period. Substantial earthwork remains are still visible across the monument, demonstrating the scale of defensive construction undertaken during the Iron Age. The hillfort would have served as a focal point for settlement, storage, and refuge during a period of significant social organisation in Cornwall's prehistoric communities.
