Bincknoll Camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort located near Broad Hinton in Wiltshire. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular polygonal area of approximately two hectares, positioned on elevated chalk downland that commands views across the surrounding landscape. The fort's construction and primary occupation date to the Iron Age, though like many such hillforts, it may have seen activity across an extended chronological span. The earthworks remain substantially preserved and form part of the important concentration of Iron Age hillforts distributed across the Wiltshire chalk downs.
