Coxall Knoll is a multiple enclosure hillfort situated in Shropshire, England, dating to the Iron Age period. The monument comprises two concentric defensive earthworks that follow the natural contours of the hilltop, with the inner enclosure defining a smaller fortified area. The site's defensive layout, characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Welsh Marches, reflects the strategic importance of elevated positions during this period of intensified hilltop occupation in the region. The earthworks remain substantially visible as banks and ditches, preserving evidence of prehistoric territorial control and settlement organisation in this borderland landscape.
