Coney's Castle is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort located near Symondsbury in Dorset. The monument is defined by multiple concentric defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches, a characteristic feature of later prehistoric fortified settlement in southern England. The outworks extend beyond the main enclosure, suggesting a settlement of considerable strategic importance, though little archaeological investigation has been undertaken to establish precise dates or functional details. The site remains an important example of Iron Age defensive architecture in the region, preserving evidence of prehistoric land use and territorial control in Dorset.
