Small multivallate hillfort on Drakelow Hill, 250m west of Solcum Farm is a prehistoric defensive earthwork located in Worcestershire.

The multivallate construction—featuring several parallel lines of earthworks—suggests a significant investment in defensive infrastructure and indicates the site's importance within its local landscape. The hillfort is recorded in the national heritage list as a scheduled ancient monument, recognising its archaeological and historical value as evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and social organisation in the English Midlands.
