Caer Vallack is a small Iron Age promontory fort situated in Cornwall. The monument comprises a circular enclosure with an attached annexe, defended by a ditch and bank system typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in south-west Britain. The site's strategic positioning on elevated ground would have provided defensive advantages and control over the surrounding landscape during the later prehistoric period. The physical remains, whilst modest in scale, represent an important example of Iron Age settlement fortification practices in the Cornish peninsula.
