Killabury is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort located near Wadebridge in north Cornwall. The monument comprises a substantial circuit of defensive earthworks consisting of multiple banks and ditches arranged concentrically, which would have enclosed and protected a settlement during the later prehistoric period. The site demonstrates the engineering sophistication typical of Iron Age fortifications in south-western Britain, where communities invested considerable labour in constructing imposing linear defences. Killabury represents an important example of Iron Age settlement and defensive strategy in Cornwall, reflecting the social organization and territorial control exercised by Iron Age communities in the region.
