This site is often referred to as a Roman Villa, but there is some thought it may have had continuous use from before the Roman occupation. More of a setttlement than a hillfort, though. Interesting relevant article here: http://www.brigantesnation.com/SiteResearch/Roman/CastleDykesNorthStainley/CastleDykesRipon.htm
