Overview

History & significance

Killabury is a hillfort located near Wadebridge in north Cornwall. The monument comprises a roughly circular enclosure defined by a single substantial rampart with an external ditch, characteristic of Iron Age defensive settlements in south-west Britain. The site occupies a commanding position on elevated ground and shows evidence of occupation during the later Iron Age, likely serving as a territorial stronghold and centre of local authority. The earthworks remain substantially well-preserved, retaining their defensive form despite the passage of over two millennia.
