Pencarrow Rounds is a multivallate hillfort located in Cornwall, England, comprising multiple concentric defensive earthworks and outworks characteristic of later prehistoric fortifications. The monument consists of substantial banks and ditches arranged in a complex pattern typical of Iron Age hillforts, demonstrating considerable investment in defensive architecture. The site's multiple lines of fortification suggest a settlement of some importance during the Iron Age period, serving purposes of defence, settlement, and possibly communal gathering. The outworks extending beyond the main enclosure indicate an organisation of space consistent with later Iron Age settlement practices in south-western Britain.
