Bury Wood Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated north of Raffinwood House in Wiltshire. The site comprises an earthwork enclosure defined by substantial defensive banks and ditches characteristic of Iron Age fortifications. The monument occupies a strategically positioned location within the Wiltshire landscape, typical of hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period as centres of settlement, storage, and defence. The earthworks remain visible as significant topographical features, though like many such sites their precise chronology and phase of use require archaeological investigation to establish with certainty.
