Malwood Castle is a Iron Age hillfort located in the New Forest, Hampshire. The site comprises a roughly circular enclosure defined by a substantial single bank and ditch, which encloses an area of approximately two hectares. The defences show evidence of having been constructed during the Iron Age, though the precise dating remains uncertain. The hillfort's location within the New Forest landscape suggests its function was likely defensive or territorial in character, typical of hillforts established during the later prehistoric period in southern England.
