Burridge Camp is a univallate hillfort located in Devon, England. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular polygonal area, typical of Iron Age fortifications in the south-west of England. The hillfort dates to the Iron Age period, when such enclosed hilltop settlements served defensive, administrative, or economic functions within their local landscapes. The monument remains substantially preserved as an earthwork, contributing to understanding of Iron Age settlement patterns and territorial organisation in Devon.
