Multiple enclosure fort at Round Wood is an Iron Age hillfort located near Bodmin in Cornwall. The monument consists of multiple defensive earthwork enclosures arranged concentrically or in succession, typical of later prehistoric fortified settlements in the south-western peninsula. The site's complex arrangement of banks and ditches suggests it served as a centre of significance during the Iron Age, possibly functioning as a refuge fort or settlement hierarchy marker within the local landscape. Such multivallate fortifications are characteristic of the final centuries before the Roman conquest of Britain.
