Beacon Hill camp is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort located near Cotgrave in Nottinghamshire. The monument comprises a series of concentric earthwork defences enclosing an elevated position, typical of defensive settlements constructed during the Iron Age period. The site represents an important example of prehistoric fortified settlement in the East Midlands, strategically positioned to command views of the surrounding landscape. The earthworks remain substantially visible today, though their precise chronology and period of occupation have not been definitively established through systematic archaeological excavation.
