Bodbury Ring is a large univallate hillfort situated on the summit of Bodbury Hill in Shropshire, England. The monument is defined by a single substantial defensive bank and ditch enclosing the hilltop, a characteristic form of Iron Age fortification typical of the region. The site's prominent topographical position would have afforded commanding views over the surrounding landscape, a strategic advantage common to hillforts of this period. The univallate design and scale of the earthworks are consistent with Iron Age date, though the site remains an important example of prehistoric defensive architecture in the Shropshire archaeological landscape.
