Resugga Castle is a univallate hillfort situated in Cornwall, England, dating to the later prehistoric period. The monument is defined by a single defensive rampart enclosing an interior space on elevated ground, a characteristic design of Iron Age fortifications in the region. Such hillforts served as strongholds for local communities, providing both defensive advantage and a focus for settlement during the late prehistoric era. The site represents an important example of Iron Age defensive architecture in Cornwall and contributes to understanding settlement patterns and territorial organisation in the south-west peninsula during this period.
