Slight univallate hillfort 80m east of Old Downton Cottage is a small Iron Age defensive settlement located in Herefordshire. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch, characteristic of univallate hillfort construction, though the earthwork remains slight and modest in scale compared to major regional examples. Its position and form are consistent with smaller hillforts that proliferated across the Welsh Marches during the later prehistoric period, serving functions that likely encompassed settlement, refuge, and territorial demarcation for local communities.
