Rockhill Earthwork is a prehistoric defensive enclosure located in Shropshire. The site consists of a substantial univallate hillfort with a single defensive bank and ditch system, characteristic of Iron Age fortifications in the West Midlands region. The earthwork occupies a commanding position on elevated terrain, typical of Iron Age settlement strategy in this period. Though precise dating remains uncertain without modern excavation, the monument's form and construction method are consistent with Iron Age defensive settlements, likely dating to the period between roughly 800 and 100 BC.
