Badbury Camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort situated near Badbury in Berkshire. The site consists of a single defensive ditch and bank enclosing an approximately circular area, characteristic of Iron Age settlement and refuge fortifications in southern Britain. Occupation and use of the fort likely dates to the later Iron Age, though the precise chronology of construction and abandonment remains uncertain without modern archaeological investigation. The earthwork survives as a prominent topographical feature and represents an important example of Iron Age defensive architecture within the Berkshire landscape.
