Bury Hill is a hillfort located in Wiltshire, England, dating to the Iron Age period. The site is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising an outer bank and ditch system that encircle the hilltop, characteristic of the fortified settlements constructed during the later prehistoric period. The earthworks remain visible in the modern landscape despite the passage of time and agricultural activity. The hillfort represents an important example of Iron Age settlement strategy in southern England, reflecting the territorial and defensive concerns of Iron Age communities in the region.
