Overview

History & significance

Large univallate hillfort at Felday is a prehistoric fortified enclosure located in Surrey, England, dating to the Iron Age. The hillfort is defined by a single substantial defensive bank and ditch, characteristic of univallate construction, and encloses a considerable area typical of larger hillforts of the period. Its prominent position and scale suggest it served an important role in the territorial and settlement hierarchy of Iron Age Surrey, likely functioning as a significant centre for habitation, defence, and social organisation. The monument remains a valuable archaeological resource for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and land use in south-eastern England.
