Multiple enclosure fort 300m north east of Tretherres is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Cornwall. The monument comprises a series of concentric or multiple defensive enclosures, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts and fortified settlements in the south-west of England. Such sites typically date from the Iron Age period, roughly the first millennium BCE, and served as defended settlements for communities engaged in agriculture and stock raising. The multiple enclosure design provided successive lines of defence and would have enabled control of the surrounding landscape and resources.
