Slight univallate hillfort on Barrock Fell is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Cumberland, England. The monument consists of a single defensive bank enclosing an interior space, characteristic of the univallate class of hillfort design. Dating to the Iron Age, the site represents a form of settlement and territorial demarcation typical of the later prehistoric period in northern Britain. The earthwork remains visible on the fell, though the surviving defensive features are modest compared to more substantially preserved examples of the type.
