The Remains of Iron Age fort on Bloodgate Hill is a univallate hillfort located in Norfolk, England. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch that encircles the hilltop, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in East Anglia dating to the later prehistoric period. The earthwork survives as a substantial upstanding monument despite centuries of agricultural use, preserving evidence of settlement practices and defensive architecture from the Iron Age. Such hillforts served multiple functions as centres of power, trade, and refuge during periods of increasing social complexity in prehistoric Britain.
