Caer Caradoc, Iron Age hill fort in Church Stretton, England.
The multivallate fortification stands atop a hill with defensive earthworks, ramparts, and an entrance causeway extending across multiple levels of terrain.
Built during the late Bronze Age to Iron Age period, this fortified settlement contains remnants of ancient British defensive structures from pre-Roman times.
The site bears connections to Caractacus, the British tribal leader who fought against Roman invaders, with a cave near the summit named after him.
Visitors can access the fort through walking paths from Church Stretton or Cardington, with the steeper route starting from Church Stretton town center.
The fort sits along the Church Stretton Fault line, marked by natural springs visible on maps and extending from Staffordshire to Pembrokeshire.
