Prittlewell Camp is a slight univallate hillfort situated approximately 500 metres east of Sutton Road crematorium in Essex. The monument consists of a single defensive bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age fortifications, though the earthworks are relatively modest in their present form. The site represents settlement and defensive activity during the Iron Age period, reflecting the pattern of such enclosed settlements across Essex during the later prehistoric era. The subtle nature of its surviving earthworks reflects both the original construction method and the effects of subsequent land use and erosion over two millennia.
