Small multivallate hillfort 230m south-east of Great Prideaux is a Late Iron Age defensive enclosure located in Cornwall. The monument comprises multiple concentric earthwork ramparts and ditches typical of hillforts constructed during the final centuries before the Roman conquest of Britain. Its multivallate design, with successive lines of fortification, indicates a settlement of some importance and suggests occupation during a period of increasing territorial competition and social complexity in south-western Britain. The site remains visible as earthwork features in the landscape, preserving archaeological evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive strategies in the Cornish peninsula.
