Castle-an-Dinas is a large multivallate hillfort located near Tresaddern in Cornwall, England. The monument comprises a substantial defended enclosure with multiple concentric banks and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction, likely dating to the later prehistoric period. Within or adjacent to the hillfort are two bowl barrows, which represent Bronze Age burial monuments and indicate earlier use of this prominent location. The site commands significant views of the surrounding landscape, and the presence of both Iron Age and Bronze Age elements demonstrates successive periods of occupation and ritual significance at this naturally defensible position.
