Large multivallate hillfort 230m south of Cross Hands Farm is a prehistoric defensive earthwork located in Gloucestershire. The monument comprises multiple concentric banks and ditches characteristic of Iron Age hillforts, which served as centres of settlement, trade, and territorial control during the later prehistoric period. The earthworks remain substantially preserved as archaeological features, preserving evidence of the engineering and defensive strategies employed by Iron Age communities in the region. Such multivallate fortifications demonstrate the sophistication of settlement hierarchy and social organisation among prehistoric populations in the British Iron Age.
