Slight univallate hillfort on Swinhope Hill is a prehistoric defensive enclosure located in Lincolnshire, situated approximately 430 metres north west of Glen Innes House. The monument consists of a single defensive bank, characteristic of univallate hillfort construction, though its condition is described as slight, indicating substantial degradation of the earthwork over time. Dating to the Iron Age, the site represents settlement and territorial control practices of that period in the East Midlands region. The hillfort's modest scale and surviving topography provide evidence of Iron Age land use and defensive strategies, though the eroded state of its banks limits the visibility of its original architectural character.
