Slight univallate hillfort with outworks 390m south east of Tanker's Lake is a Late Iron Age defensive settlement located in Cornwall. The monument is defined by a single rampart enclosure of modest proportions, accompanied by external outworks that would have afforded additional protection to the settlement. The slight condition of the surviving earthworks reflects both the modest scale of the original construction and the effects of subsequent land use and erosion over two millennia. Such hillforts represent typical examples of Iron Age settlement hierarchy in south-western Britain, serving as defended farmsteads or minor administrative centres within their local communities.
