Slight univallate hillfort in Dunmere Wood is a defended settlement of Iron Age date located in Cornwall. The monument comprises a single defensive rampart enclosing an area of raised ground, characteristic of univallate hillforts common in the south-west peninsula during the later prehistoric period. The earthwork, though now reduced in prominence, represents evidence of territorial control and settlement during the Iron Age, when such hillforts served as centres of economic and social organisation. Its position within Dunmere Wood has assisted in the survival of archaeological remains despite considerable degradation over two millennia.
