Bigberry camp is a hillfort located near Chilham in Kent, England. The site comprises an oval enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age defensive settlements in south-eastern England. Dating to the Iron Age period, Bigberry represents an important example of early fortified settlement in Kent, reflecting the agricultural and social organisation of pre-Roman British communities in the region. The monument preserves evidence of the defensive earthworks that would have enclosed occupation and storage areas within its perimeter.
