Knook Castle is an Iron Age univallate hillfort on Knook Down in Wiltshire, England, located near the village of Knook but largely within the civil parish of Upton Lovell [1]. The site features a roughly rectangular plan with a single entrance on the south-south-east side and a later break in the western wall [1]. It has also been interpreted as a defensive cattle enclosure associated with nearby Romano-British settlements [1]. The site is a scheduled monument [1].
