Castle Canyke is a large multivallate hillfort located near Liskeard in Cornwall. The monument comprises multiple concentric defensive ramparts and ditches, a characteristic feature of hillforts constructed during the Iron Age, though the precise dating of this particular site remains uncertain. The fort's substantial earthwork defences suggest it served as a significant settlement and defensive centre for the local community, typical of such installations across south-west England during the later prehistoric period. The site's survival as earthworks preserves evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and fortification strategies in the Cornish landscape.
