Yarnbury Castle is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort located near Winterbourne Stoke in Wiltshire, England. The site is defined by concentric earthwork defences consisting of multiple banks and ditches that enclose an oval interior, characteristic of the late Iron Age period, probably dating to between the third and first centuries BCE. The monument preserves substantial archaeological evidence of prehistoric settlement and territorial control in this part of the Wiltshire downs, though like many hillforts of the region it was abandoned before the Roman conquest of Britain.
