Pulpit Hill is a small multivallate hillfort located in Buckinghamshire. The site is defined by multiple defensive earthwork banks and ditches arranged concentrically, a characteristic feature of Iron Age fortifications in southern Britain. The hillfort dates to the Iron Age period, likely constructed during the later Iron Age when such defended settlements served defensive, administrative, or ceremonial functions for local communities. The monument's modest scale and multiple ramparts reflect the settlement patterns and defensive strategies typical of Iron Age communities in the Chilterns region.
