Castle Gotha is a round, an Iron Age hilltop settlement located in Cornwall, England. The site comprises a roughly circular earthwork enclosed by a bank and ditch system, typical of the defensive settlements constructed across south-western Britain during the later prehistoric period. As with many Cornish rounds, the monument likely served as a fortified domestic and agricultural centre for a local community, with the earthwork providing protection and demarcation of a high-status settlement. The site represents an important example of Iron Age settlement patterns in the south-west and contributes to understanding of pre-Roman Cornish archaeology.
