Bulls Down camp is an Iron Age hillfort located in Hampshire, England. The monument comprises a roughly circular enclosure defined by a single bank and ditch, positioned on elevated terrain typical of Iron Age defensive settlements in southern Britain. Dating to the Iron Age period, the site represents the type of communal fortified settlement that served defensive, administrative, and possibly ceremonial functions for local populations during the first millennium before the Roman conquest. The earthwork remains survive as a distinct topographical feature, though the original height and profile of its defences have been modified by centuries of natural erosion and agricultural use.
