Turret Tump is a small Iron Age hillfort located in Herefordshire, England. The monument consists of a single rampart with an internal ditch, forming a circular or oval enclosure typical of the Iron Age period in the Welsh Marches region. Its modest scale and construction suggest it may have served as a defended settlement or refuge during the Iron Age, though evidence regarding its specific function and duration of occupation remains limited. The site represents an important example of Iron Age defensive architecture in the borderland landscape between England and Wales.
