Slight univallate hillfort 300m west of Calcott Hall Farm is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Essex, England. The site is defined by a single defensive rampart enclosing an irregular area, typical of univallate hillfort construction from the Iron Age period. The earthwork survives as a low bank, indicating that significant degradation has occurred since its original construction, though the defensive circuit remains traceable in the landscape. Such hillforts served as centres of settlement, storage, and refuge for Iron Age communities in south-eastern Britain, functioning within the broader economic and social networks of their time.
