The remains of an Iron Age fort on Bloodgate Hill is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Norfolk, England. The site comprises earthwork defences characteristic of Iron Age hillforts, consisting of banks and ditches that once enclosed and protected a settlement during the pre-Roman period. The fort dates to the Iron Age, a period spanning roughly 800 BCE to the Roman conquest of Britain in 43 CE, and represents the military and social organisation of Iron Age communities in East Anglia. Such fortifications served defensive purposes and likely functioned as centres of authority and territorial control within the region prior to the establishment of Roman rule.
