Slight univallate hillfort on Galley Hill is a prehistoric fortified enclosure located in Bedfordshire. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch system of modest proportions, characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction in the region. Its univallate design suggests a relatively modest defensive structure, typical of smaller hillforts common in the East Midlands and East Anglia during the later Iron Age period. The monument remains an important example of prehistoric settlement and territorial organization in the landscape of central England.
