Castle Dore is a multivallate hillfort located near Fowey in Cornwall, England. The monument comprises multiple concentric defensive ramparts and ditches enclosing an approximately oval interior, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements of the first millennium BC. Excavations in the mid-twentieth century revealed occupation evidence consistent with the later Iron Age, though the site may have been reused in later periods. The hillfort represents a significant example of prehistoric defensive architecture in south-west England, demonstrating the scale of fortification undertaken by Iron Age communities in the region.
