Slight univallate hillfort on Castle Crag is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Cumberland, England. The monument comprises a single defensive rampart enclosing the summit of the crag, characteristic of univallate hillfort design from the Iron Age period. The fortification's modest earthwork suggests it may have served as a territorial marker or refuge rather than a major population centre, reflecting the varied scale and function of hillforts across northern Britain during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
