Bach Camp is a small univallate hillfort situated in Herefordshire, dating to the Iron Age. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an area of modest size, characteristic of smaller fortified settlements of the pre-Roman period. Its location and construction suggest it served defensive and possibly administrative functions within the local Iron Age community. The site remains archaeologically significant as evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and land use in the Welsh borderland region.
