Small multivallate hillfort 127m south east of Demelza Farm is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Cornwall, England. The monument comprises multiple defensive earthwork banks and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction, though such sites in Cornwall may also reflect occupation spanning earlier Bronze Age or later Roman periods. The multivallate defensive system suggests a settlement of some importance within its local landscape, designed to provide protection and perhaps territorial assertion. As with many Cornish hillforts, its precise dating and the full extent of its occupation history remain subjects for archaeological investigation and interpretation.
