Ashbury Camp is a later prehistoric multivallate hillfort located in Cornwall, England. The monument comprises multiple defensive earthwork banks and ditches that characterise hillforts of the Iron Age period. Its strategic elevated position would have provided commanding views over the surrounding landscape, serving defensive and possibly administrative or trading functions typical of such settlements. The survival of its substantial earthworks makes it an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement patterns and fortification practices in the south-western peninsula.
