Small multivallate hillfort on Round Hill is a prehistoric defensive earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises multiple concentric ramparts and ditches characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction, likely dating to the later prehistoric period. Its multivallate design, with successive defensive lines, suggests a settlement of some strategic or administrative significance during the Iron Age, though the specific chronology and extent of occupation remain subjects for archaeological investigation. The earthwork survives as an upstanding monument preserving evidence of prehistoric fortification practices in northern England.
