Small multivallate hillfort 460m east of Old Abbey Farm is a prehistoric defensive enclosure located in Lincolnshire. The monument comprises multiple concentric earthwork banks and ditches typical of Iron Age hillfort construction, indicating its primary use as a fortified settlement or refuge during the later prehistoric period. The survival of its multivallate defensive system demonstrates the investment in elaborate earthwork defences characteristic of higher-status Iron Age communities in the region. Such sites served important functions in territorial control, trade regulation, and community gathering during the later Iron Age period preceding Roman occupation.
