Meon Hill Multivallate Hillfort is a prehistoric defensive enclosure located in Gloucestershire, England, dating to the Iron Age period. The monument is characterised by multiple concentric banks and ditches that once enclosed and protected the hilltop settlement, a design typical of later Iron Age fortifications in the region. The multivallate defences represent a significant investment in defensive architecture, suggesting the site held considerable strategic or territorial importance during its period of occupation. The hillfort exemplifies the settlement patterns and fortification methods employed by Iron Age communities in the Midlands and Welsh borderland areas.
