Royal Commission fortifications at Forder Hill is a World War II defensive site located in Cornwall, England. The fortification comprises musketry lines and a road block constructed as part of the extensive anti-invasion preparations undertaken by the British military following the threat of German invasion during 1940 and 1941. The site demonstrates the systematic approach to coastal and inland defence adopted across south-west England during the Second World War, with the physical remains reflecting the tactical deployment of infantry firepower and vehicle obstruction designed to impede potential enemy advance. These structures form part of the wider landscape of wartime military engineering that characterises the Cornish coast and hinterland of this period.
