Slight univallate hillfort and two ring cairns on the summit of Titterstone Clee Hill is a prehistoric defensive settlement located on the highest point of Titterstone Clee in Shropshire. The hillfort is defined by a single substantial rampart that encloses the hilltop, characteristic of univallate construction, and is accompanied by two ring cairns situated within or near the fortified area. The site dates to the Iron Age, representing a period of significant hill fort construction across the Welsh Marches and surrounding regions. The elevated position of the settlement, combined with its defensive earthwork, suggests it served both protective and territorial functions during its period of occupation.
