The Multivallate hillfort at Berth Hill is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Staffordshire, England. The site is characterised by multiple concentric defensive earthworks consisting of banks and ditches that encircle the hilltop, a design typical of Iron Age hillforts in the Midlands region. The monument dates to the Iron Age, when such fortifications served as centres of settlement, storage, and territorial control. The surviving earthwork remains demonstrate the substantial labour investment and engineering knowledge of Iron Age communities in central England.
