Boddington Camp is a slight univallate hillfort situated on the summit of Boddington Hill in Buckinghamshire. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch defining an oval enclosure, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts of southern Britain. The modest earthwork remains visible today, though erosion has considerably diminished its original dimensions. The site's exact chronological attribution within the Iron Age period remains a matter of archaeological enquiry, as systematic excavation and dating evidence for this particular monument are limited in the scholarly record.
