Cadson Bury is a slight univallate hillfort located in Cornwall, England, dating to the Iron Age. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an area of modest proportions, characteristic of smaller hillforts from the later prehistoric period. Its univallate construction suggests it may have served primarily as a territorial marker or refuge settlement rather than a heavily fortified stronghold. The hillfort's modest earthwork remains reflect the landscape archaeology of Iron Age Devon and Cornwall, where such settlements played a significant role in settlement patterns and social organisation during the first millennium BC.
