Roundton Hillfort is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Powys, Wales, dating to the Iron Age. The site comprises a substantial univallate hillfort with a single defensive rampart enclosing an irregular hilltop position. Archaeological evidence and its structural form indicate occupation and use as a defended settlement during the later prehistoric period, likely serving as a territorial centre and refuge for the local population. The hillfort remains an important example of Iron Age defensive architecture in the Marches region and is protected as a scheduled monument under Cadw's heritage designation system.
