Bigberry camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort located near Chilham in Kent. The site comprises a single defensive rampart enclosing an area of approximately two hectares, positioned on rising ground that commands views across the surrounding Kentish landscape. Archaeological investigation and surface survey have confirmed its Iron Age dating, placing it within the period of prehistoric fortified settlements characteristic of south-eastern England. The camp represents an important example of Iron Age settlement hierarchy in Kent, though the precise chronology and duration of occupation remain subjects for further archaeological study.
