Small multivallate hillfort on Drakelow Hill, 250m west of Solcum Farm is a late prehistoric fortified settlement located in Worcestershire. The site is defined by multiple defensive banks and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts constructed across the English Midlands during the later centuries before the Roman conquest. The monument's multivallate design, comprising several concentric earthworks, suggests a settlement of some importance within the regional hierarchy, though the exact date of construction and occupation remains subject to ongoing archaeological interpretation. The earthworks survive as substantial upstanding features within the modern landscape and are recorded as a scheduled ancient monument under the national heritage protection scheme.
