Large hilltop enclosure - hillfort? is an Iron Age hilltop enclosure located in Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The site comprises a substantial earthwork situated on elevated ground, characteristic of the defensive and territorial settlements constructed during the Iron Age period in Ulster. The enclosure's physical form suggests it served as a focal point for settlement and resource control, though the question mark in its designation reflects scholarly uncertainty regarding its formal classification within hillfort typologies. Such enclosures typically functioned as centres of power and protection during the later prehistoric period, though more detailed archaeological investigation would be required to establish the precise extent, date range, and functional character of this particular example.
