Multiple enclosure fort 320m north west of Shepherds Farm is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Cornwall. The site comprises multiple defensive enclosures arranged concentrically or in sequence, a defensive strategy characteristic of Iron Age hillforts and earlier Neolithic or Bronze Age fortified settlements in south-western Britain. The monument's exact chronological attribution and structural details remain subjects of archaeological study, though its morphology suggests occupation during the later prehistoric period. Such multi-enclosure forts represent significant evidence of settlement hierarchies and defensive practices among prehistoric communities in the region.
