Badbury Camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort situated in Berkshire. The monument consists of a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an area of approximately 3.5 hectares, typical of hillforts constructed during the later Iron Age period. The site commands views over the surrounding landscape and would have served defensive and possibly administrative functions for the Iron Age community that occupied it. Archaeological evidence and topographical analysis suggest occupation during the latter centuries before the Roman conquest of Britain.
