Small multivallate hillfort on Round Hill is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of multiple defensive banks and ditches characteristic of Iron Age hillforts, which typically date from the later first millennium BCE. The earthwork defences would have served both protective and territorial functions for the community that occupied the site. Such multivallate hillforts represent significant centres of Iron Age settlement and social organisation in northern Britain, reflecting the defensive concerns and engineering capabilities of their builders.
