Multiple enclosure fort at Round Wood is a prehistoric hillfort located in Cornwall, England, dating to the Iron Age period. The site comprises multiple concentric or closely-spaced defensive earthwork enclosures that characterize this category of fortified settlement, typical of Iron Age defensive architecture in the south-west of Britain. Such multi-vallate structures reflect both the strategic importance of their locations and the considerable labour investment undertaken by their communities. The earthworks remain visible as archaeological features in the landscape, contributing to understanding of Iron Age settlement hierarchy and territorial organisation in Cornwall.
