Slight univallate hillfort with outworks 390m south east of Tanker's Lake is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Cornwall, England. The monument comprises a single defensive bank with associated outworks, representing a modest hillfort of Iron Age date typical of the southwestern British archaeological record. The univallate construction—featuring one primary rampart rather than multiple concentric defences—suggests either a relatively small-scale settlement or a hillfort of earlier Iron Age origin. The presence of outworks indicates some complexity to the defensive scheme beyond the main enclosure, providing additional protection or delineation of associated territory or activity areas.
