Blodwell Rock Camp is a hillfort situated on the border between Shropshire and Powys in Wales. The monument comprises an Iron Age fortified settlement, likely dating to the later prehistoric period, characterised by defensive earthworks including substantial banks and ditches that follow the contours of the hilltop. The site demonstrates the typical layout of British hillforts from this era, with ramparts arranged to exploit the natural topography for defensive advantage. Its location on high ground afforded strategic control over the surrounding landscape and would have served as a centre for settlement, storage, and refuge during the Iron Age period.
